Tom's Sweet Potato Pizza Crust

Tom's Sweet Potato Pizza Crust

Ingredients

• 5½ cups peeled and cubed sweet potatoes (about 2 large sweet potatoes)
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds
• 3 tablespoons water
• 1¼ cup gluten-free oat flour
• ¼ cup almond meal
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Celia's White Balsamic Vinegar
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1¼ teaspoons garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon fine-grain sea salt
• pinch of chili flakes

Directions

1. Steam the sweet potato cubes in a steamer or over the stove for 30 minutes or until fork-tender.
2. Add the chia seeds and water to a small bowl, whisk with a fork, and let stand at room temperature for 10 minutes to create a chia egg.
3. Preheat oven to 400F.
4. Add the steamed sweet potatoes to a large mixing bowl and mash them.
5. Add in the chia egg, oat flour, almond meal, olive oil, vinegar, basil, oregano, garlic powder, sea salt, and chili flakes. Stir together until combined.
6. Line a round pizza pan with parchment paper. Scoop the sweet potato mixture onto the parchment paper and use a spatula to spread it into a large circle on the pizza pan. This process takes 5-10 minutes, so be patient as you're smoothing out the crust. When you're done, you should have a ½-inch thick pizza crust.
7. Pop the pizza pan in the oven and bake for 25-35 minutes or until the crust is set and the edges are golden brown.
8. Remove the crust from the oven and let cool.
9. Add desired toppings (Pictured: pizza sauce, vegan parmesan, artichokes, cherry tomatoes, basil) and return the pan to the oven and broil for 5 minutes.
10. Slice, serve, and refrigerate leftovers.
