Ingredients
For the sweet potato pizza crust:
- ¾ cup rolled oats
- 1 large sweet potato peeled and diced
- 1 egg
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
For the toppings:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ red onion thinly sliced
- 1 bell pepper any color, cored and thinly sliced
- 1 Jalapeno pepper cored and thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- 8 ounces jarred salsa
- ½ cup canned black beans drained and rinsed
- ½ cup Mexican shredded cheese blend
- cilantro avocado, and/or diced fresh tomato for topping
Instructions
Prepare the sweet potato pizza crust:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Set a 14-inch long piece of parchment paper on a flat surface.
- In a food processor fitted with an S-blade, blend the oats to a fine crumb. Add the raw diced sweet potato, egg, garlic powder and salt, then continue to blend until the mixture becomes dough-like.
- Transfer the mixture to the parchment paper, and then use your hands to form a 10-inch round circle that's roughly ½-inch thick. Carefully transfer the parchment paper to the oven and place it directly on the rack. Allow to cook for 30-35 minutes, until the edges are light golden brown. Cool for at least 10 minutes before topping.
Prepare the toppings:
- In a large skillet warm the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and a pinch of salt, and then cook for 3 minutes. Next add the bell pepper, jalapeño, cumin, chili powder and smoked paprika. Continue to cook for about 7 minutes, until the peppers are tender. Turn the heat off.
- Once the crust has cooled, spread a thin layer of salsa on top. Add the black beans and cooked pepper mixture, and then finish with the cheese. Bake in the oven at 400°F for 10 minutes, until the cheese is melted.
- Slice and serve with cilantro, avocado and/or fresh tomato and enjoy!
