• 1 cup of dry quinoa or quinoa flour
  • 1 sweet potato
  • 1 tsp salt

Pizza is my weakness. If it only were healthier! … Well, wish granted. Not only is this one of the healthiest pizzas you’ll come across, but it’s also one of the tastiest and easiest recipes for gluten free pizza.

Directions

  1. Grind up one cup of dry quinoa (using either a spice grinder or food processor). If you don’t have any of those ingredients you can also simply use quinoa flour. By the way, any kind of quinoa works perfectly fine.
  2. Chop up one whole sweet potato or yam and steam until tender.
  3. Peel and mash (hand masher works well) the sweet potato.
  4. Mix all ingredients, adding a dash of salt.
  5. Using your hands, flatten ingredients on a bake sheet (best to lay down parchment paper first, so the dough doesn’t stick). Flatten and shape into a circle (may make two pizzas, so don’t force all onto one bake sheet). The circle will be about 6″ in circumference and about 1/2″ thick.
  6. Bake in oven at 350 degrees for about 18 minutes, or until starting to brown at the edges.
  7. Take out the oven and place onto a cooling rack and let cool for at least 5-10 minutes before eating.

Any kind of topping works on this pizza crust. You can try fresh tomatoes, a dressed salad, garlic and olive oil, freshly squeezed lemon, or tomato sauce with your topping of choice. Note: you can also use this recipe as a more traditional flat bread or crouton.
