Ingredients
- 1 medium sweet potato, peeled
- 2/3 cup rolled oats
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- a pinch of garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
- 1/2 cup shredded chicken
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Pulse the sweet potato and oats through the food processor until very fine. Add the egg and garlic powder and salt; pulse again to mix. The mixture should resemble a loose dough or thick batter.
- Transfer to a parchment lined baking sheet or round pizza pan. Press into crusts and shape with your hands – you can either make two smaller crusts (you’ll get more crispy edge surface area) or one larger crust. Crusts should be about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the top is dry to the touch. Remove from oven, let cool, and invert back onto the pan with the dry side facing down. Peel the parchment very gently off the top layer and brush with olive oil. Bake for another 5-10 minutes to get a nice crispy top
- Top with sauce, chicken, red onion, and mozzarella cheese, in that order. Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and pizza is hot.
- Finish with cilantro. Cut and serve!
Notes
Amounts will vary depending on the size of your pizza, so just play it by ear. When it doubt, go for LESS toppings so it doesn’t weigh the crust down too much.
