Sweet Potato Crust Vegan Pizza
Servings: 2
Ingredients:
For the dough:
-
1 large sweet potato peeled and diced
-
1 1/2-2 cups of chickpea flour
-
A pinch of salt
-
2 cups water for boiling the sweet potato
For the toppings:
-
2 tbsp tomato paste
-
10-12 pitted green or black olives
-
1/2 a large red or yellow pepper cut into thin long strips
-
1 medium onion, cut julienne
-
10-12 cherry tomatoes halved
-
3-4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
-
1/4 tsp oregano
-
1/2 tsp thyme
-
1/4 tsp smoked paprika
-
Salt to taste
-
1 tsp nutritional yeast
Directions for the dough:
-
Boil the diced sweet potato with water on a stovetop until very soft and then strain the water and mash with a fork.
-
Once the mashed sweet potato is cooled, place in a deep bowl and gradually add the chickpea flour and mix it regularly until it hardens and has a dough-like consistency. Use your hands to make it into a ball.
-
Place it in the fridge for 30-60 minutes before using.
Directions for the toppings:
-
Place all the vegetables into a bowl and add the olive oil and all the spices except for the tomato paste and the nutritional yeast. Mix all the ingredients together.
-
Place the vegetables in an oven dish and bake at 200 degrees for 20-30 minutes until the vegetables wilt.
Directions for the assembly:
-
Line an oven dish with baking paper. Split the sweet potato dough into two equal pieces.
-
Using your hands, spread the sweet potato dough out over the baking paper and make it into a thin crust.
-
Place it into the oven at 200 degrees for 20-25 minutes until the bottom side becomes brown and a bit crispy.
-
Flip the dough over and take it out of the oven.
-
Add a tablespoon of the tomato paste on the crispy side. Add the oven roasted vegetables and 1/2 tsp nutritional yeast and place it back in the oven until the bottom becomes brown and crispy.
-
Serve right away.
