BBQ Chicken Pizza With Sweet Potato Crust

Ingredients

  • 1 lb (454g) sweet potato, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 1/2 cup plus 2 tbsp (62g) almond flour
  • 1/4 cup (37g) gluten-free flour
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium barbecue sauce
  • 1 cup (110g) part-skim mozzarella, grated
  • 1 1/2 cup (227g) boneless skinless chicken breast, cooked and diced
  • 1/4 small red red onion, very thinly sliced
  • 1/2 small red bell pepper, thinly sliced

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Place the sweet potatoes in a microwave-safe bowl with 1/4 cup water. Cover and microwave until very tender when pierced with a fork, about 5 minutes. Drain well. Transfer to a large bowl and mash until completely smooth (you should have about 1.5 cups). Set aside and let cool to room temperature.

Add the almond flour, gluten-free flour, egg, and salt to the mashed sweet potatoes and stir to combine. Place the mixture on the prepared baking sheet and spread into a 10-by-8-by-1/2-inch (25 cm by 20 cm) rectangle using an offset spatula. Bake until the base is dry to the touch and beginning to brown on the edges, about 25 minutes.

Spread the barbecue sauce evenly over the pizza base. Top with the chicken, then arrange the onions and bell pepper evenly over the top. Sprinkle the cheese over everything. Bake until the cheese is bubbly and golden, about 10 minutes. Cut into squares and serve.
