Can I make sweet potato crust pizza ahead of time?

Yes! You can prepare the sweet potato crust in advance. Simply bake the crust as instructed, let it cool, and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to enjoy, top it with your favorite ingredients and bake again until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

How do I make the sweet potato crust crispier?

To achieve a crispier crust, try baking the sweet potato crust a little longer before adding the toppings. You can also increase the oven temperature slightly for the final bake, but keep an eye on the pizza to avoid burning the edges.

Can I use other flours instead of almond flour?

Yes, you can substitute almond flour with coconut flour, but keep in mind that coconut flour absorbs more moisture. You may need to adjust the amount of liquid in the crust mixture when using coconut flour. Alternatively, a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend could also work well in this recipe.

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel and grate the sweet potato, yielding about 1 ½ cups of grated sweet potato.
In a pan over medium heat, sauté the grated sweet potato for 5-7 minutes until softened.
In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed sweet potato, almond flour, eggs, olive oil, garlic powder, and salt. Stir until everything is well combined.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the sweet potato mixture into a round or rectangular shape.
Bake the crust for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and firm.
Once baked, remove the crust from the oven and top with tomato sauce, cheese, and any desired toppings.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the toppings are cooked.
Allow the pizza to cool slightly, slice, and enjoy!

Notes

If you want a crispier crust, bake the crust longer before adding the toppings.
Feel free to experiment with different vegetables and proteins to suit your taste.
Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
For a dairy-free version, use dairy-free cheese or skip the cheese entirely.
