If you’re looking for a unique and yummy way to eat sweet potatoes or for a healthier way to eat pizza, you will love these easy sweet potato pizzas! This is a hit with my whole family and a fun recipe to add to your meal rotation 🙂 Because the base is a sweet potato, for you THMers out there, it is an E fuel so make sure to keep the cheese really light and make sure you use turkey bacon vs. regular bacon. If you don’t want to bother cutting sweet potatoes into buttons (it doesn’t take that much time, I’m really a DTS at heart:) you can look for pre-cut sweet potatoes in the frozen section of your local grocer. It’s fun to keep seeing more convenient health foods like these. This is also a really fun recipe to make with your kiddos, spouse or a friend!
Sweet Potato Pizzas (THM E)
Ingredients
- 10-12 small sweet potatoes or 6-7 medium ones depending on the size of your family
- Low sugar pizza sauce Great Value is my go to
- Low moisture mozarella cheese is best any cheese will do (just use sparingly)
- 1 package nitrate free turkey bacon
- Basil
- Parmesan cheese from the green can if you're not a purist
- Olive Oil spray
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees
- Wash & Cut Sweet potatoes into buttons
- Spray 2 baking sheets with olive oil spray
- Arrange buttons in a single layer on the baking sheets, spray the buttons with the olive oil spray
- Bake for 25-30 minutes (The top baking sheet is usually done by 25 minutes and then I move the bottom baking sheet to the top for another 5)
- While potatoes are baking, cook turkey bacon (I like to bake my bacon in the oven at 350 for 10-12 minutes)
- Cut bacon into small pieces
- Top Sweet Potatoes with pizza sauce, a sprinkle of mozarella cheese, a few pieces of bacon, basil, & parm cheese if desired
- Broil at 425 until cheese is melted (approx 5 minutes)
- -8 pieces is one serving
- *Note: There is not a lot of protein in this meal so I always add some cottage cheese or a protein based drink like beauty milk or a baby frap 🙂
