Description

Ingredients

• 5 1/2 cups peeled and small-cubed sweet potatoes (about 2 large sweet potatoes)
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds
• 3 tablespoons water
• 1 1/4 cup gluten-free oat flour
• 1/4 cup almond meal
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 1/4 teaspoons garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon fine-grain sea salt
• Pinch of chili flakes

Directions

• Be sure to measure out exactly 5 1/2 cups of sweet potato cubes. Steam the sweet potato cubes in a steamer or over the stove for 30 minutes or until fork-tender.
• Add the chia seeds and water to a small bowl, whisk with a fork, and let stand at room temperature for 10 minutes to create a chia egg.
• Preheat oven to 400F.
• Add the steamed sweet potatoes to a large mixing bowl and mash them.
• Add in the chia egg, oat flour, almond meal, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, basil, oregano, garlic powder, sea salt, and chili flakes. Stir together until combined.
• Line a round pizza pan with parchment paper. Scoop the sweet potato mixture onto the parchment paper and use a spatula to spread it into a large circle on the pizza pan. This process takes 5 minutes or so, so be patient as youre smoothing out the crust. When youre done, you should have a 1/3-inch thick pizza crust.
• Pop the pizza pan in the oven and bake for 25-35 minutes or until the crust is set and the edges are golden brown.
• Remove the crust from the oven and let cool.
• Add desired toppings (e.g., pizza sauce, vegan parmesan, artichokes, cherry tomatoes, basil) and return the pan to the oven and broil for 5 minutes.
• Slice, serve, and refrigerate leftovers.
