Ingredients

  • 750 g of sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped
  • 100 g of plain flour
  • 100 g of ground almonds
  • 1 tsp of oil, plus extra for the tray
  • 2 large red onion, sliced

  • 125 g of goat's cheese, crumbled
  • 1 small bunch of oregano leaves, to serve
  • 1 small bunch of basil leaves, to serve

Method

  • Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas 7. Add the chopped sweet potatoes to a pan of salted boiling water and cook for 15 mins until soft but not mushy. Drain well and add to a large mixing bowl with the flour and ground almonds and a large pinch of salt. Mash until combined and starting to get smooth.

    Line a large rectangular baking tray with baking parchment and lightly coat with oil. Spread the sweet potato dough over the lined tray until smooth. Bake in the over for 5-10 mins to lightly brown.

  • Step 3

    Meanwhile, in a pan set over a low-medium heat, cook the red onions with 1 tsp olive oil, moving regularly until softening. Turn up the heat to medium-high and add the sausagemeat and fry for 2-3 mins or until crispy and turning golden.

  • Step 4

    Once the pizza base is cooked, spread the passata over the base, add the sausage and onion mixture, cherry tomatoes, scatter over the goat’s cheese and top with oregano.

  • Step 5

    Return to the oven for 12-15 mins or until the pizza is golden and the edges are starting to crisp. Finish with a scattering of fresh basil.
