Crispy Sweet Potato Pizza
- 🍳 Heavy skillet or pan (for pressing)
- 📄 Parchment paper
- 🖼️ Baking tray
- ♨️ Microwave or oven (for initial cooking)
-
1Preheat & Cook Potato: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Microwave, boil, or roast the sweet potato whole until it is completely soft all the way through (microwaving takes about 5–6 minutes).
-
2Peel & Smash Crust: Peel the warm sweet potato skin off. Place the potato between two sheets of parchment paper and press down hard using a heavy pan or skillet until it flattens into a thin, round pizza base.
-
3Pre-Bake (Optional for Extra Crisp): Remove the top parchment sheet and transfer the flattened base on the bottom parchment to a baking tray. Bake for 5–8 minutes first if you like a firm base.
-
4Add Toppings: Spread tomato sauce evenly over the base (avoid over-saucing). Top with halved cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion, and a generous handful of grated cheese.
-
5Bake & Serve: Bake for 8–12 minutes until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and the edges of the sweet potato are golden and crispy. Slice and enjoy hot!

- 🍅 Control Sauce Moisture: Stick to 2–3 tablespoons of thick tomato sauce. Too much sauce can make the center base soft instead of crispy.
- 🧀 Cheese Pull Secret: Shred your own mozzarella cheese from a block for the ultimate stretchy cheese pull.
- 💡 Topping Variations: Try feta and spinach, sautéed mushrooms and mozzarella, or roasted red peppers!
