Ingredients
  

For the Crust

  • 2/3 cup shredded cheese, I used a blend of Italian mixed cheese and mozzarela
  • 1.5 cup sweet potato, cooked
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 teaspoon Seasonings: garlic powder, onion powder, italian seasoning, salt, and pepper

For the Toppings

  • 1 cup shredded chicken breast
  • 1/4 cup pizza sauce, or marinara
  • 1/4 cup BBQ sauce
  • 1/4 cup cilantro, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 1/3 cup shredded mozzarella
  • 1/3 cup shredded Italian blend cheese
  • Seasonings: Oregano, salt, and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.
  • You can either cook your sweet potato in the oven or in the microwave. I personally used to microwave for ease and quickness.
    Oven method: Use a fork to poke holes into the sweet potato, place it on a baking sheet, and roast for 30-45 minutes until tender, flipping halfway through.
    Microwave Method: Use a fork to poke holes into the sweet potato, place it on a microwave-safe plate, and microwave for 5-7 minutes until tender, flipping halfway through.
  • Allow the cooked sweet potato to cool before handling.
  • Once cooled, scoop out about 1.5 cups of sweet potato into a mixing bowl to make the crust.
  • In the mixing bowl with the sweet potato, add shredded cheese, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mash together until well combined.
  • Spread the dough mixture evenly on a pre-greased baking sheet or parchment paper.
  • Bake the crust in the oven for about 15 minutes, until the crust has solidified.
  • While the crust bakes, prepare your toppings by shredding the chicken and finely chopping the red onion and cilantro.
  • Once you feel your crust is sturdy enough, it's time to layer and build your pizza!
  • Spread pizza sauce or marinara over the crust. Layer with shredded mozzarella and Italian mix cheese.
  • Toss the shredded chicken in a bowl to coat evenly.
  • Spread the BBQ chicken on top, followed by the red onion and a sprinkle of oregano or Italian seasoning.
  • Place the pizza back in the oven and bake for another 5-7 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the red onions are cooked to your liking.
  • Garnish with sea salt, olive oil, and cilantro, then enjoy! xx
