Number Of Ingredients 22

2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
4 tablespoons water
3 sweet potatoes, medium/large, cooked and mashed
1 ¾ cups almond flour
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
½ cup cashews
½ cup pistachio
1 cup fresh basil
½ cup fresh cilantro
2 cups spinach
1 lemon juice
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
3 cloves garlic
½ cup olive oil
bell pepper, sliced
cherry tomato, sliced
red onion, thinly sliced
fresh arugula

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a 17-inch round or a 18x26-inch (45x66-cm) rectangular metal tray with parchment paper.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the flaxseed and water. Let sit for 5 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, combine the mashed sweet potato, almond flour, flax egg, salt, pepper, dried rosemary, and additional flaxseed. The mixture will be thick and pasty.
  • Spread the mixture onto the tray and flatten slightly. Place the sweet potato crust in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, until the edges are crisp and golden.
  • While the crust is baking, prepare the pesto. Add cashews, pistachios, fresh basil, cilantro, spinach, lemon juice, salt, pepper, garlic cloves, and olive oil to a food processor and process until mostly smooth with a bit of texture.
  • When the pizza crust is done baking, spread the pesto on top, then cover with bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, and red onions.
  • Return the pizza to the oven and bake for 5 minutes more. Allow to cool for 10-15 minutes.
  • Top with arugala.
  • Enjoy!
