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.
