Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup All-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour)
- 0.5 cup Hummus
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 cup Kalamata olives
- 0.25 cup Red onion
- 0.5 cup Feta cheese
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel the sweet potatoes, then cut them into chunks and boil them in a pot of water for about 10-15 minutes or until fork-tender.
Drain the sweet potatoes and mash them in a bowl until smooth. Allow them to cool slightly.
Mix the mashed sweet potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and flour until a pliable dough forms.
Transfer the sweet potato dough to the prepared baking sheet and shape it into a circular or rectangular pizza base about 1/4 inch thick.
Bake the sweet potato crust in the oven for 15 minutes or until firm and slightly golden around the edges.
While the crust bakes, slice the cherry tomatoes, red onion, olives, and chop the basil leaves.
Remove the crust from the oven and allow it to cool slightly. Spread the hummus over the crust as the base sauce.
Top the pizza with the sliced cherry tomatoes, olives, red onion, and crumbled feta cheese.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, just until the toppings are warmed through.
Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh basil leaves, and serve immediately.
