Smashed Sweet Potato Pizza


Print

BAKE YOUR SWEET POTATO(ES): in a 400F / 205C oven until you can easily pierce with a knife (30 - 60 minutes, depending on the potato size)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 450°F.

  2. 2

    On a parchment-lined baking sheet, lay both sides of the sweet potato skin side down. Lightly drizzle with olive oil and top with a piece of parchment. Using a frying pan or heavy skillet, smash each potato half into a 1/4-1/3” thick oval. Peel off the parchment and top the sweet potato rounds with a little more olive oil, and a sprinkle of sea salt. Place in the oven for 10 to 15 minutes until the top of the sweet potato begins to crisp.

  3. 3

    Top both sweet potato rounds with barbecue sauce, onions, jalapeños, shredded chicken, and cheese. Return to oven for 10 to 15 minutes until cheese is bubbly. Allow to rest for a few minutes before transferring to plate with a pancake flipper or other broad spatula. Top with a drizzle of ranch (optional) and a sprinkle of cilantro.
