Wow the fam with these amazing grilled sweet potato pizzas! All you need is sweet potatoes, your favorite marinara sauce or pesto, mozzarella, and your favorite pizza toppings for this healthy 30 minute meal.
I think we just invented the most amazing grilled pizza of our lifetime. I actually got inspired from my girl Kelsey from Little Bits Of, the inventor of sweet potato toast. What a genius idea to pop a sweet potato slice into a toaster, eh? As you know, sweet potatoes are a staple food in the Fit Foodie diet, so we decided to slice our taters like Kelsey did and take things to the grill.
I’D LIKE TO INTRODUCE YOU TO SWEET POTATO PIZZA.
No pizza crust is needed because you just replace it with a grilled sweet potato slice. Oh, and it only takes 15 minutes to make. Buh bye 30 minute meal…hello 15! Don’t be afraid of the grill, ladies. It’s actually really easy to do and there’s so much more flavor. A little bit of char goes a long way.
We kept these little pizzas very basic knowing that there is about a million different ways you can top them. We did go back and forth between a marinara and pesto. Both equally as amazing and full of flavor. On top of your sauce you have a sprinkle of mozzarella and some fresh basil. Finger lickin’ good shit right there.
:D
