Ingredients
  • 2-3 medium sweet potatoes or yams, peeled and diced
  • 1.5 Tbsp olive or avocado oil
  • ¼ tsp crushed red pepper flakes
  • pinch salt
  • 3 whole wheat pitas or alternative gluten free crust
  • 1 bunch kale, stemmed and torn into bite-size pieces
  • 2 Tbsp sun dried tomatoes packed in olive oil
  • 1-2 peppers (red, yellow, green etc.), sliced
  • 3 mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 small tomato, chopped
  • ⅓ cup part skim mozzarella cheese
Instructions
  1. Heat oven to 425 F
  2. Boil a small pot of water and cook yams in water until fork-tender, 7-10 minutes. Alternatively, cook in the microwave for a 4-5 minutes in a small amount of water.
  3. Place the yam, 1.5 tbsp of oil, pepper flakes and a pinch of salt in a food processor and pulse until the sauce is smooth. Add more water if necessary.
  4. Spread the yam puree over pita bread or alternative crust*
  5. Toss (massage) the kale in the oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes; top pizza with chopped veggies, cheese and kale. The chopped tomatoes fit nicely on top of the fresh kale.
  6. Bake until crust is golden, 10-15 minutes - watch that the kale does not burn!
