Easy Sweet Potato Pizzas
Prep 10 min Cook 15 min Serves 2 Source

Ingredients

  • 1 large sweet potato (washed and dried)
  • 1/3 cup marinara sauce or pesto
  • 1/3 cup mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • pinch oregano
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup diced fresh basil

Steps

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven or grill to 375ºF.

  2. 2

    Prepare the sweet potato by slicing the ends off. Then, turn the potato onto one end and create your "pizzas" by slicing the sweet potato lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick pieces.

  3. 3

    Rub the top of each piece of sweet potato with olive oil (or spray with olive oil cooking spray) and season with salt and pepper to taste.

  4. 4

    Lay a piece of tin foil onto the grill or cover a baking sheet with tin foil and spray with olive oil cooking spray.

  5. 5

    Transfer the sweet potato pizzas onto the tin foil and bake for around 10 minutes or until the sweet potato is almost fork tender.

  6. 6

    Flip the sweet potato pizzas over and spread on 1 tablespoon of marinara sauce or about 1/2 tablespoon of pesto. Sprinkle on one tablespoon mozzarella cheese and add a dash of fresh oregano. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes or until cheese is melted.

  7. 7

    Once the cheese has melted, remove them from the heat and top with fresh basil.
