How to make sweet potato pizza

1. Slice your sweet potato into 1/2 inch thick rounds. 
2. On a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, set your sweet potato rounds about ½ inch apart so they’re not touching each other. 
3. 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.
4. 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.
