How to make sweet potato pizza
- Slice your sweet potato into 1/2 inch thick rounds.
- On a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, set your sweet potato rounds about ½ inch apart so they’re not touching each other.
- Spinkle with italian seasoning on top of each round then spray avocado oil spray on top to coat completely. Set in oven to roast for 25 minutes.
- Once done, remove baking sheet from oven and flip the rounds. Then using a spoon, add the pizza sauce over the top of the rounds (about a tablespoon). Top with cheese, and other toppings you’d like to add, then place back in oven for 3-5 minutes until the cheese is melted.

How to store
You may store sweet potatoes with or without sauce but I think it is better to keep sauce off when meal prepping and just adding on when you are ready to eat. Store in an airtight glass container for up to 5 days in fridge or up to 3 months in the freezer.
Frequently Asked Questions
