Sweet Potato Crust Pizza

Sweet Potato Crust Pizza Recipe

This gluten free pizza is nutritious and delicious, and the sweet potato twist is a speedier alternative to traditional crusts.

  • We simply add oats to a blender and blend until fine to create the oat flour.
  • We prefer to serve this pizza with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil but olive oil will do, too.
  • Make sure you opt for a soy-free cheese to make this recipe soy-free.

Sweet Potato Crust Pizza

Serves: Makes 1 large pizza Prep Time: 20 minutes Cooking Time: 48 minutes 48 minutes
Nutrition facts: 200 calories 20 grams fat

Ingredients

For the base:

  • 500g / 17.6oz sweet potato
  • 2 cups oat flour (blended oats)

For the toppings:

  • 1/2 red onion
  • 3 chestnut mushrooms
  • 1/2 red pepper
  • 2 garlic cloves diced
  • salt + pepper
  • 1 tsp dried mixed herbs
  • 1/2 tsp chili flakes
  • olive oil
  • 2 tbsp tomato puree
  • a large handful of baby spinach
  • a few fresh basil leaves
  • 60g / 2.1oz vegan mozzarella

Method

  1. First peel and dice the sweet potato. Then add it to a steamer and steam for 20 minutes until the potato is soft. Alternatively you can boil the sweet potatoes until soft.
  2. Preheat oven to 200°C fan / 425°F and line a large baking tray with baking paper.
  3. Transfer the soft sweet potato to a mixing bowl, leave to cool, then mash. Then add the oat flour and mix with a wooden spoon until well combined.
  4. Prepare a little water in a small bowl and use it to wet your fingers, then shape the sweet potato dough into a ball and place it on the lined baking tray. Dipping your hands in the water will make it easier to shape the dough without it sticking to your hands.
  5. Shape the dough into a circle roughly 0.5cm thick and smooth it out around the edges. Then bake the dough in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes until firm.
  6. Meanwhile, to prepare the toppings, peel and slice the red onion, slice the mushrooms and peppers and peel and dice the garlic. Then add them all to a mixing bowl along with the dried mixed herbs, chilli flakes, a drizzle of olive oil and generous pinches of salt and pepper. Combine until the veggies are fully coated in the seasoning.
  7. Once the dough is ready, remove it from the oven and spread the tomato puree over the top followed by a layer of spinach. Then lay the veggies all over. Next, slice the vegan mozzarella and spread the slices across the pizza. Bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes.
  8. Finish with a few basil leaves and a drizzle of olive oil.

Apparently, I’m the only one who doesn’t know how many sweet potatoes equal 500 grams, LOL.

Reply
Roxy, So Vegan January 6, 2018 - 6:13 pm

Hey Donna. 500g is roughly the same as two large sweet potatoes. Hope that helps! Roxy (So Vegan)

One of my favorite breakfast foods growing up; now I can’t eat oats. What kind of flour could be substituted? I really would like to make this. Thanks.

Reply
Roxy, So Vegan January 6, 2018 - 6:08 pm

Hey Freeman. You can substitute with any flour. Thanks, Roxy (So Vegan)

Tessa July 13, 2017 - 4:07 pm

I made this last night and it was incredible!! I used gluten free flour from Costco and it worked well. I also let it cook in the oven a little longer. The best gluten free crust yet and finally one that has some density and isn’t super thin. I plan to make this once a week! Thank you.

Can you freeze it?

Reply
Roxy, So Vegan January 6, 2018 - 6:07 pm

Hey Em. We wouldn’t recommend freezing the pizza because the consistency might change. But you can pre-make the dough and leave it in the fridge overnight.

Hi Roxy, can you replace oat flour with buckwheat flakes ground into flour? Do you think I can replace sweet potato by regular potato? Thanks =)

Reply
Bjarne February 8, 2018 - 10:10 pm

Do you think it will work with rice flour instead?

Reply
Gina March 14, 2018 - 12:59 pm

I assume it will work if I swap sweet potato for butternut squash? Yum! Thank you 🙂

Yep absolutely. Let us know how it goes!

Would love to try. Is it ok for someone with high cholesterol?

Reply
Sirena June 27, 2018 - 2:55 pm

Can you white potato be used as well? Certain types of sauces or topping may mix better so I”m just curious. BTW, steaming potatoes is the healthiest way to cook them.

ruth w vidunas July 2, 2018 - 4:02 pm

do you think it would work to make the rounds smaller for either individual pizzas or for dinner crackers?

Reply
Roxy, So Vegan September 13, 2018 - 10:49 pm

Hi Ruth, For sure I think this would work. Sounds like a great idea 🙂 Roxy x

Love this pizza would it be ok to prepare the base in advance? Pre bake, cool and refrigerate up to 24 hours?
Ready to prepare toppings the following day.
