SWEET POTATO PIZZA CRUST

I first saw the idea for sweet potato pizza crust on Pinch of Yum. Their recipe is made of grated raw sweet potatoes, oats and eggs. So I went a different direction, played with the ingredients, ended up using cooked & mashed sweet potatoes, and created a recipe that is vegan, gluten free and as simple as possible to make.

I seriously wasn’t going to post this recipe if it tasted like diet food, or anything less than absolutely yummy. But thankfully, it worked out so well, and I’m super excited to share it with you!

Ingredients

• 2 medium sweet potatoes
• 1 cup almond flour
• 1/4 cup cornstarch or arrowroot
• 2 tablespoons ground flaxseeds
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions
Prep the sweet potatoes:

1. Bake the sweet potatoes in the oven (425 degrees) for about an hour, until very soft and cooked through. I used my Instant Pot, with the steam rack and 1 cup of water for 18 minutes. 
2. Once the sweet potatoes have cooled enough to handle them, scoop out the flesh, mash and measure 2 cups. Add sweet potato puree to a large bowl.

Make the sweet potato pizza crust:

1. To the bowl with the sweet potato puree, add the almond flour, cornstarch or arrowroot, ground flaxseeds and salt. Mix well with a spoon or fork until well combined.
