A naturally gluten-free, vibrant pizza crust made from roasted mashed sweet potatoes and eggs. Crispy on the edges, chewy in the center, and packed with wholesome goodness, it provides a delicious base for all your favorite low-calorie or clean-eating toppings.
2 cups cooked and mashed sweet potato (from about 2 medium-large sweet potatoes)
2 large eggs, beaten
1/2 cup tapioca starch (or arrowroot powder)
1/4 cup coconut flour (or almond flour)
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp olive oil (for greasing the pan/parchment)
Instructions
🟢Preheat and Roast Sweet Potatoes:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Pierce sweet potatoes with a fork and roast for 45–50 minutes until completely tender. Let cool, scoop out the flesh, and mash until smooth. Measure out 2 cups.
🟢Mix the Dough:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potato, beaten eggs, olive oil, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well.
🟢Add Starches:
Gradually add the tapioca starch and coconut flour into the mixture. Stir until a sticky, thick dough forms.
🟢Shape the Crust:
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and grease it lightly with olive oil. Divide the dough into 2 portions (or keep as 1 large circle). Use wet hands or a spatula to press the dough into a 1/4-inch thick round crust, smoothing out the edges to create a slight crust rim.
🟢Pre-bake the Crust:
Bake the crust at 400°F (200°C) for 20–25 minutes until the edges are golden and the top is set.
🟢Add Toppings & Finish:
Remove from the oven, add your desired pizza sauce, cheese, and toppings, and bake for an additional 8–10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbling. Slice and serve!
Notes
Flour Alternative: Replace coconut flour with almond flour (use a 1:1.5 ratio as almond flour is less absorbent).
Starch Swap: Substitute tapioca starch with cornstarch or potato starch to bind the crust.
Egg-Free Option: Replace the 2 eggs with flax eggs (2 tbsp ground flaxseed mixed with 6 tbsp water), though the crust will be slightly softer.
