  • Sweet potatoes: any color sweet potato works!

Variations

The amazing thing about this fun recipe is that you can really make it your own with the toppings you choose!

Meat: top your pizza with Italian sausage and mini pepperoni for a meaty version.

Vegan: make it vegan with our vegan pesto and vegan parmesan cheese.

Cheese: while we kept things classic with mozzarella, you can use any kind of shredded cheese you want. Heck, you can even use fresh mozzarella. Here are some ides:

  • cheddar
  • gruyere
  • parmesan

here’s a tip!

Be sure to use a large enough skillet with a top for this recipe. A Dutch oven also works well.

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.

Tips & Notes

  • Nutrition information includes marinara sauce, not pesto!
  • We wrote the recipe to serve 2, but know that you can easily double or triple this to serve more.
  • If you want grill marks, but don’t have a grill, feel free to use a grill pan.
