Healthy Sweet Potato Pizza with BBQ Chicken - Gluten Free, Non Dairy
Description
The crust is made by microwaving sweet potatoes until soft, peeling, and mashing them with almond flour, egg, salt, dried herbs, garlic powder, and apple cider vinegar to bind. The dough is spread thinly onto a pizza stone or baking surface and baked at 400°F for 30 minutes, producing a sturdy yet tender base.
While the crust bakes, toppings are prepared by shredding pre-cooked rotisserie chicken, chopping fresh spinach, and sautéing thinly sliced red onions until soft. After baking, BBQ sauce and tomato sauce are combined and spread over the crust, then topped with chicken, spinach, and onions before optionally adding extra seasoning.
This pizza offers a healthier alternative to traditional wheat crust with added vegetable nutrition from sweet potatoes and spinach, combining smoky BBQ flavor and savory toppings in a non-dairy dish suitable for gluten-free diets.
The recipe's estimated nutrition is based on eight servings, so ingredient variations may affect values.
Ingredients

- 3 sweet potato medium
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon oregano dried
- 1 teaspoon basil dried
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions
To make the sweet potato crust:
- Pre-heat oven to 400°.
- Cook sweet potatoes in microwave until soft.
- Peel sweet potatoes and add to large mixing bowl with almond flour, egg, salt, dried oregano, dried basil, garlic powder, and apple cider vinegar. (For an extra kick, add a pinch of chili powder.) Mash ingredients until well combined and the mixture takes on a doughy consistency.
- Use rubber spatula to spread on a Pizza Stone (you could also use a Silicon Baking Mat or greased baking sheet.) You want the crust dough to be no more than 1/2" thick to cook evenly.
- Cook dough at 400° for 30 minutes.
To finish the sweet potato crust pizza:
- While pizza dough is baking: shred 1 cup of pre-cooked rotisserie chicken, chop 1 cup spinach, and sauté one thinly sliced medium red onion until soft.
- Remove pizza dough from oven and spread 1/2 cup barbecue sauce and 1/2 cup tomato sauce on top.
- Cover pizza with shredded rotisserie chicken, chopped spinach, and red onions. Drizzle with barbecue sauce.
- Return pizza to oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes. Slice and enjoy!
