Easy Sweet Potato Pizzas
Replace normal pizza crust with a sweet potato for a tasty and nutritious way to eat pizza.
Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 1 large sweet potato washed and dried
- 1/3 cup marinara sauce or pesto
- 1/3 cup mozzarella cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- pinch oregano
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup diced fresh basil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven or grill to 375ºF.
- Prepare the sweet potato by slicing the ends off. Then, turn the potato onto one end and create your "pizzas" by slicing the sweet potato lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick pieces.
- Rub the top of each piece of sweet potato with olive oil (or spray with olive oil cooking spray) and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Lay a piece of tin foil onto the grill or cover a baking sheet with tin foil and spray with olive oil cooking spray.
- Transfer the sweet potato pizzas onto the tin foil and bake for around 10 minutes or until the sweet potato is almost fork tender.
- Flip the sweet potato pizzas over and spread on 1 tablespoon of marinara sauce or about 1/2 tablespoon of pesto. Sprinkle on one tablespoon mozzarella cheese and add a dash of fresh oregano. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes or until cheese is melted.
- Once the cheese has melted, remove them from the heat and top with fresh basil.
