Sweet Potato Flatbread with Cauliflower
Looking for a delicious sweet potato flatbread recipe? This flatbread loaded with cauliflower is an easy, tasty vegetarian meal.
This sweet potato flatbread pizza is beyond delicious and is one of the tastiest flatbread pizza recipes you’ll ever try.
Swap a traditional tomato sauce base for pureed sweet potato, and you’ll get a boost of eye-helping vitamin A and fiber!
Over my many pizza-loving years, I’ve enjoyed traditional pizzas with tomato sauce, as well as white pizzas and ones drizzled with pesto.
But when I started thinking about how to add extra nutrition to my pizza, I realized I’d never had a pizza with sweet potato. So I set out to create a tasty and nutrient-rich version! Enter this sweet potato flatbread pizza recipe.
Ingredients
You’ll need a handful of ingredients to make sweet potato flatbread:
Cauliflower and shallot: You can use any cauliflower you desire, but I chose purple for a boost of color, as well as nutrition from the antioxidants that give the cauliflower its color. The cauliflower provides immunity-helping vitamin C.
Flatbread pizza crust: To make sweet potato flatbread, you need flatbread crust. I like to use a low-carb one, such as Flatout Rustic White Artisan Thin Pizza Crust. The crust is low in calories and filled with satiating protein and fiber.
If you’re gluten free, you can substitute in a gluten-free crust.
The benefit of buying ready-to-go pizza crust? There’s no rolling pin required!
Sweet potato: You can puree your own, but I like to use canned sweet potato puree to make the prep go faster. The sweet potato adds a boost of eye-helping vitamin A, plus satiating fiber.
Chipotle, thyme, and black pepper: These seasonings add a burst of flavor for very little calories.
Fontina cheese: You’ll use just a little to add some protein to the recipe.
Step-by-step instructions
To make sweet potato flatbread, first preheat the oven to 425° Fahrenheit.
Treat a non-stick cookie sheet with cooking spray. Place cauliflower pieces on tray, and coat with spray oil. Roast 20 minutes, turning once.
Remove, and place in a small bowl. Re-coat cookie sheet with cooking spray. Lower oven temperature to 375° Fahrenheit. Place pizza crust on sheet, and bake for 2 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine sweet potato and chipotle in a small bowl.
Remove pizza crust from oven, and spread with sweet potato mixture. Top with cheese, cauliflower, shallots, thyme, and black pepper. Bake an additional 4 minutes.
Slice, and serve immediately.
I had this pizza for lunch with a side of roasted veggies—I roasted extra cauliflower to serve up! The combo was super delicious, and I’m thinking of whipping it up again soon for an easy gourmet meal that I can serve up for my husband and I.
