Method

5 steps
  1. 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.

  2. Step 2

    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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.
