Sweet Potato and Cheese Pizza Recipe
Craving a refreshing beer and a tasty late-night snack? Let’s make a delicious sweet potato and cheese pizza, generously topped with melted cheese! This pizza is perfect for satisfying your late-night cravings and pairs wonderfully with a cold beer.
Ingredients for Delicious Sweet Potato and Cheese Pizza- 1 Tortilla (size adjustable to your preference)
- 4 Tbsp Garlic Rosé Sauce (garlicky and creamy rosé sauce adds rich flavor)
- 1/2 Onion (thinly sliced)
- 1 Tbsp Olive Oil (for sautéing onions)
- 1 Steamed Sweet Potato (medium-sized, cooked until soft and mashable)
- 1/2 can Sweet Corn (drained completely)
- 2 slices Cheddar Cheese (cut into bite-sized pieces)
- Generous amount of Mozzarella Cheese (don’t be shy with the cheese!)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, heat 1 Tbsp of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and sauté until they become translucent and slightly sweet. This will add a wonderful depth of flavor to your pizza.
Step 2
Take the steamed sweet potato out from the refrigerator and let it thaw completely at room temperature. Once thawed, use a fork or a masher to gently mash it into a smooth consistency. Ensuring there are no large lumps will help spread it evenly on the pizza.
Step 3
Drain the canned sweet corn thoroughly using a sieve. It’s important to remove as much moisture as possible to prevent the pizza from becoming soggy. This step is crucial for a crispy crust.
Step 4
Lightly toast the tortilla for about 1-2 minutes per side in a dry pan or one with a tiny bit of oil until it’s lightly golden and slightly crisp. Place the toasted tortilla on a sheet of parchment paper. This step helps create a crispier base and prevents the sauce from making it too soggy.
Step 5
Spread the garlic rosé sauce generously over the toasted tortilla using a spoon. Leave a small border around the edge to prevent the sauce from spilling out. A generous amount of sauce is key for a flavorful pizza!
Step 6
Arrange the sautéed onions evenly over the sauce. The sweetness of the onions will complement the sweet potato and cheese beautifully.
Step 7
Using a spoon, dollop the mashed sweet potato over the onions. Don’t be afraid to add a good amount – the sweet potato is the star of this pizza! Evenly distributing it ensures a delightful bite every time.
Step 8
Sprinkle the drained sweet corn generously over the sweet potato layer. The pop of corn adds a fun texture and a hint of sweetness.
Step 9
Now, add the cut cheddar cheese slices over the corn. The slightly salty and sharp flavor of the cheddar cheese creates a wonderful contrast with the sweetness of the sweet potato.
Step 10
Finally, generously sprinkle mozzarella cheese all over the pizza, covering the sweet potato, corn, and cheddar cheese. The more cheese, the better!
Step 11
And there you have it – a delicious sweet potato and corn pizza loaded with cheese! Now it’s ready to be baked to perfection. (Bake in an oven or air fryer at 180°C/350°F for 7-10 minutes, or cover and cook on low heat in a pan until the cheese is melted).
Step 12
This warm, cheesy sweet potato pizza is the ultimate companion to a cold beer! Enjoy this incredibly simple yet delicious pizza for a fun home gathering or a delightful late-night treat. Bon appétit!
