Sweet Potato Crust Pizza

The thing I miss most while eating this way is Pizza (and dessert of course!) When I read about sweet potato crust pizza I was totally on board! After 3 tries Matt and I finally succeed in being able to eat our pizza without a fork! Surprisingly the sweet potato isn't overpowering and really blends into the background while letting your pizza toppings shine! It make sounds like a lot of work but it really isn't AND it is totally worth all of the time you put into it!

Sweet Potato Crust Pizza
Adapted from Carrots 'n Cake

Makes 1 12" pizza (trust me, you'll want to double it!)
1.5 cups of mashed sweet potato
1.5 cups of Almond flour
2 large eggs, whisked
1 cup of shredded, raw parmesan cheese
1 tsp baking powder
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp italian seasoning blend
1/2 tsp paprika
1 tsp salt
toppings of choice

Preheat your over to 400 degrees.
Mix all of your crust ingredients in a large bowl.
Grease a cookie sheet and using a spatula, spread your dough into a 1/2 inch thick circle. Make sure the edges don't become thinner than the middle or they will burn.
Bake for 30 minutes, or more until the center is firm to the (careful) touch.
Remove from oven and add sauce and toppings. Return to oven and bake for another 5-7 minutes or until cheese is melted.
Remove from oven and slice. Getting it off the pan is sometimes difficult - we use a thin metal spatula and patience.
