Ingredients

• 2 medium Sweet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 cup All-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour)
• 0.5 cup Hummus
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
• 0.5 cup Kalamata olives
• 0.25 cup Red onion
• 0.5 cup Feta cheese
• 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Peel the sweet potatoes, then cut them into chunks and boil them in a pot of water for about 10-15 minutes or until fork-tender.

Step 3

Drain the sweet potatoes and mash them in a bowl until smooth. Allow them to cool slightly.

Step 4

Mix the mashed sweet potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and flour until a pliable dough forms.

Step 5

Transfer the sweet potato dough to the prepared baking sheet and shape it into a circular or rectangular pizza base about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 6

Bake the sweet potato crust in the oven for 15 minutes or until firm and slightly golden around the edges.

Step 7

While the crust bakes, slice the cherry tomatoes, red onion, olives, and chop the basil leaves.

Step 8

Remove the crust from the oven and allow it to cool slightly. Spread the hummus over the crust as the base sauce.

Step 9

Top the pizza with the sliced cherry tomatoes, olives, red onion, and crumbled feta cheese.

Step 10

Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, just until the toppings are warmed through.

Step 11

Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh basil leaves, and serve immediately.
