- Broccoli 3 florets
- Sliced olives 2 Tbsp (chopped)
- Vienna sausages 5-6
- Tomato 1/4 (optional)
- Sliced cheese 1-2 slices (optional)
Pizza Sauce- Ketchup 5 Tbsp
- Corn syrup 2 Tbsp
- Salt 1/2 tsp
- Sesame seeds 1/2 tsp
- Ketchup 5 Tbsp
- Corn syrup 2 Tbsp
- Salt 1/2 tsp
- Sesame seeds 1/2 tsp
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash all the ingredients for the pizza thoroughly and prepare them by cutting them into bite-sized pieces.
Step 2
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into approximately 1.5 cm cubes. This ensures they cook evenly inside.
Step 3
Place the prepared sweet potatoes in a steamer and steam for about 15-20 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork. Well-cooked sweet potatoes are easier to mash.
Step 4
Cut the broccoli florets into bite-sized pieces. If you want to use the stems, slice them thinly.
Step 5
In a pot, bring 2 cups of water (using a paper cup as a measure) and 1/2 tsp of salt to a rolling boil. Add the prepared broccoli and blanch for about 30 seconds. This brightens the color and keeps the broccoli crisp. Rinse under cold water and drain.
Step 6
Lightly boil the Vienna sausages to remove excess oil, then slice them into bite-sized pieces (e.g., 0.5 cm thick). Slice the tomato and onion similarly, or according to your preference.
Step 7
Without removing the plastic wrap, make a grid pattern on the sliced cheese with a knife. This helps the cheese melt naturally and look appealing on top of the pizza. (It also prevents the cheese slices from sticking together.)
Step 8
In a small bowl, combine all the sauce ingredients: 5 Tbsp ketchup, 2 Tbsp corn syrup, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp sesame seeds. Mix well until smooth. This sauce is key to the pizza’s flavor, so feel free to adjust to your taste.
Step 9
Mash the steamed sweet potatoes while they are still hot. Using a fork or potato masher works well. It’s okay to leave a few small lumps for texture. Mashing them until slightly chunky is preferable to making them completely smooth.
Step 10
Set aside about 2-3 pieces of the mashed sweet potato, cut into larger cubes. These will be used as a garnish on top of the pizza for added texture and visual appeal.
Step 11
Spread the mashed sweet potato thinly on the pan or dish you’ll be using for the pizza. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to create an even, flat layer about 1 cm thick.
Step 12
Evenly spread the prepared sauce over the sweet potato base. Be mindful not to use too much, ensuring it complements the sweetness of the potatoes.
Step 13
Arrange the blanched broccoli, sliced Vienna sausages, onions, and other prepared ingredients artfully over the pizza. Consider the colors and shapes for an attractive presentation.
Step 14
Generously sprinkle shredded pizza cheese over the toppings, followed by the scored sliced cheese. Plenty of cheese makes it delicious!
Step 15
Finally, garnish with sliced olives, the reserved cubed sweet potatoes, cherry tomatoes, and any remaining ingredients. Fill in any empty spaces beautifully.
Step 16
Cover the pan with a lid and cook over the lowest possible heat for about 5 minutes. Since all other ingredients are already cooked, this step is just to melt the cheese. It’s crucial to maintain a very low heat to prevent burning.
Step 17
After 5 minutes, the cheese will be nicely melted, resulting in a mouthwatering sweet potato pizza!
Step 18
For an enhanced flavor, drizzle mayonnaise or your favorite chili sauce (like sweet chili sauce) in a zigzag pattern over the finished pizza. Enjoy your meal!
