I’ve been making sweet potato pizzas for many years now and they’re such an easy and nutritious alternative to pizza dough. The sweet potato is cut into rounds and roasted in the oven until it’s cooked through and fork tender. Once it’s ready, you can add any toppings you and your family enjoys (examples include: pizza sauce with cheese and desired toppings). Here I used hummus as my spread of choice mainly because of its nutritional benefits; it actually paired nicely.

Be sure to check out these fun and tasty ways to use cooked sweet potato rounds as a base:

• Sweet Potato Tacos
• Sweet Potato Pizzas
• Sweet Potatoes with Avocado (which is my favorite pairing)

I had made these as part of a Valentine’s Day themed meal. Here I used a heart-shaped cookie cutter to form the sweet potatoes into hearts. You can skip that step and just add the toppings to the baked sweet potato rounds. I served it with some avocado (or as shown here, an avocado rose), and with strawberries and banana hearts.

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400F.
2. Scrub clean the sweet potato. Note: if using a cookie cutter, be sure to use a sweet potato that is larger than your cookie cutter.
3. Peel the skin off from the sweet potato and cut the ends off. Slice the sweet potato, making sure the slices are uniform in size and not too thick so it cooks quickly and evenly. Drizzle some oil ( I used avocado oil) over the sliced sweet potatoes. Add 1/4 teaspoon each of garlic powder and onion powder. Toss to coat evenly.
4. Line a baking sheet with unbleached parchment paper and place the sweet potatoes on the baking sheet in a single layer.
5. Remove the seeds and ribs from a red bell pepper. Use a smaller heart-shaped cookie cutter to form some hearts or can small dice the bell peppers.
6. Place the red bell pepper hearts on the baking sheet with the sweet potatoes.
7. Make sure the sweet potatoes and the red bell peppers are not overlapping or touching one another.
8. Roast them in the oven for 15-20 minutes (depending on the thickness of your sweet potatoes) or until the sweet potatoes are fork tender (meaning a fork can easily pierce through the sweet potato).
9. Allow the sweet potatoes to cool. Once cooled, use a heart shaped cookie cutter to form the sweet potatoes into hearts. Add desired toppings. I spread some hummus, sprinkled some finely diced spinach (can also add some finely diced basil), topped it with some shredded mozzarella cheese, and garnished it with the roasted red bell pepper hearts
10. Place it back in the oven for 5 minutes or until the cheese has melted
11. Allow it to cool and enjoy!
