Sweet Potato Pizza Crust Vegan & Gluten-Free
Sweet Potato
Pizza Crust
Vegan &
Gluten-Free
This
vegan, gluten-free sweet potato pizza crust is as nourishing as it is
flavorful. Steamed sweet potatoes are mixed with oat flour, a bit of almond
meal, a chia egg, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and a zesty array of spices.
Then, the mixture is plopped on a pizza pan, spread into a circle, and nudged
into a toasty oven. The crust puffs as it bakes thanks to the apple cider
vinegar, and the seasonings create the most wonderful aroma.
Sweet
potato, sweet potahto. No matter your choice of pronunciation, sweet potatoes
speak our bodies’ health language. They’re rich in Vitamins A, C, and B6, and
packed with fiber, manganese, and potassium. Plus, they’re absolutely delicious
and rock that vivacious orange hue year-round. And who doesn’t get down with
vitamin-rich vivaciousness
