A delicious, gluten-free sweet potato pizza crust topped with fresh kale pesto, red onion, cilantro, crispy chickpeas, and avocado for a healthy, plant-based twist on traditional pizza!
Alright friends, I’m throwing a virtual pizza party and you’re invited! So stop what you’re doing and join in on the fun as I take you through my latest and perhaps greatest culinary creation! Maybe it’s because I love pizza so much, or maybe it’s just THAT darn good. I do have to warn you, it does take a little longer than 30 minutes to make, BUT it’s worth every extra minute.
So, here’s how it all started. I had this idea in my head for quite some time. I went out and bought a ton of sweet potatoes, like giant ones! And then they proceeded to sit on my kitchen island for a while. Good thing is, they don’t go bad very quickly. I had lost my inspiration for some reason. Then Friday night rolled around, and I was trying to figure out what the heck to make- staring in my (pretty bare) fridge. When I took out what ingredients I had- they just so happened to align right with this recipe that had been brewing in my brain. Thanks pizza gods! So I set out to create what I hoped wouldn’t be a recipe fail because I do have those sometimes, and in fact- it was quite the opposite!
This crust is so dang delicious I’m now thinking about how many ways I can use it. Yes, it’s that good. The “sauce” is an easy kale pesto topped with vegan parmesan cheese- which if you know anything about me, it’s that I put that stuff on everything. I coated some chickpeas in tandoori masala and crisped them up in the oven. Roasted some red onion drizzled in olive oil and sprinkled with salt to get them all nice and caramelized and sweet. Lastly, I topped the pizza with fresh kale leaves, avocado, and fresh cilantro! Are you drooling yet? Because I am. Again. In other good news, the dough/crust recipe is enough to make two medium sized pizzas! So you could either make two and eat them both, which you just might! Or you could freeze one for later, cutting the recipe time down for next time significantly! Alright, I’m not messin’ around anymore- let’s get this party started!

These recipes really looks yum. The initial cost for the ingredients will be quite steep but i would love to loose a bit of weight. I weigh 76kg and my measurements are 169cm. I am 69 years of age, so not that much I have to loose but I definitely need to loose.
Thanks ever so much that I could download this. Will definitely try them.
Kind regards.

Hi Lynne! Thank you so much for your comment 🙂 I hope you can find the ingredients for a decent price- if you do make it, I’d love to hear your thoughts!
I think you’ll find if you simply add in more plant-based, whole foods it’ll crowd out some of the not so healthy foods and the weight will naturally come off! Best of luck to you!
