Sweet potato crust: A unique twist on the classic pizza recipe

I don't know anyone who doesn't like pizza. This Italian classic has firmly established itself in our homes, undergoing various transformations and modifications. Some people love a thin crust, while others prefer it thick and fluffy. However, in this recipe, the base is not the classic dough but sweet potato.

Pizza definitely has many names. It looks different in the United States, and even the Italians themselves have tons of ideas and recipes for it. If you want to impress your loved ones with a unique treat, go for this one with a sweet potato crust. Instead of classic toppings like mozzarella or salami, it features BBQ sauce, pulled chicken, and bell pepper. It's a delicious departure from the classics, perfect for a family dinner, party snack, or warm supper.

Sweet potato is not only a base for fries but also an interesting idea for a pizza crust. Preparing this snack is really quick and very simple. Even someone who doesn't have much experience with Italian delicacies can handle this recipe.

Ingredients:

              
• 2 medium sweet potatoes
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 4 tablespoons BBQ sauce
• 1 chicken breast filet - cooked in stock
• ½ green bell pepper
• ½ red onion
• 1 ball of mozzarella in brine
• 4 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions:

Step 1. Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly and prick them, for example, with a toothpick. Place in a heatproof dish, drizzle with vegetable oil, and put in the microwave for 20 minutes at 800 Watts.

Step 2. Cook the chicken filet in stock and shred it into smaller pieces using two forks. Cut the bell pepper into thin strips, and slice the onion into thin half-rings.

Step 3. Transfer the baked sweet potatoes to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Carefully cut them in half, cover with another sheet of parchment paper, and mash using a pot.

Step 4. Remove the parchment paper. Season the sweet potatoes with salt, spread BBQ sauce, add chicken, bell pepper, and onion. Place torn mozzarella pieces on top, drizzle with olive oil, and put in the oven preheated to 200°C. Bake for 10 minutes.

Step 5. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm. Enjoy your meal!
