I know the title sounds odd. Who puts sweet potatoes on pizza? The girl trying to get rid of the leftovers in her refrigerator, that is who! The pizza I made last night on a whim was one of the best I have had in a long time!
Lately, I have been using Udi’s gluten-free pizza crusts. Though they don’t have to be kept in the freezer, it is best to do so if you won’t be using them in a couple of days. I always try to keep some on hand for nights when nothing else sounds good or I need to make dinner in a hurry.
As I made room in our refrigerator yesterday for the food we are preparing for a cookout this weekend, I noted the items that needed to be tossed or eaten as soon as possible. On the list were 1/2 of a sweet potato leftover from the other night, mushrooms, a jar of marinara sauce, and some feta cheese. The sweet potato pizza was born.
Sweet Potato Pizza (serves 1-2)
- 1 Udi’s gluten-free pizza crust
- 1/4 – 1/2 cup marinara or pizza sauce
- Sauteed mushrooms
- 1/2 – 1 baked sweet potato
- 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella
- 1/8 cup crumbled feta cheese
1. Preheat oven according to the directions on the pizza crust package.
2. Assemble pizza and bake 10 – 12 minutes, or longer to lightly brown crust and melt the cheese.
3. Slice and enjoy!
When creating off-the-wall pizzas, sometimes you get a combination that is just so-so, and sometimes you hit a home run. This, my friends, was a home run! I can’t believe how well the flavors complemented each other! I can definitely see making this again in the near future.
What is the oddest combination of toppings you have put on a pizza?
That “clean out the fridge” routine is often how the best recipes are created! I could go for this one. 😉 It would probably be great even without cheese. Thanks for sharing!

Shirley,
Thanks for sharing this recipe! I agree, I don’t know that the cheese is even necessary! The only thing I could think of that I would add when I do it again is maybe some pine nuts and fresh basil.
