Ingredients
For the crust:
-
1 medium sweet potato, peeled and cubed, uncooked
-
1/2 cup of oats
-
1 egg
For the sauce:
-
2 - 3 tablespoons unseasoned tomato paste
Toppings:
Choose a selection of dog friendly toppings such as
-
low fat mozzarella cheese, grated (if your dog is not intolerant to dairy)
-
chopped fresh basil
-
diced cooked chicken
-
diced bell peppers
Steps:
-
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F
-
Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper
To Make the Crust
-
Place cubed sweet potato and oats in a food processor and whizz together until a fine meal-like texture is formed.
-
Add egg to the sweet potato and oats mixture and whizz until combined.
-
Spoon mixture onto parchment lined cookie tray, and form into circles. My pizza crusts were about 10 cm in diameter and about 2 cm thick.
-
Bake for about 20 minutes or until the edges just begin to crisp. Watch carefully because sweet potato will burn quickly.
-
Remove from oven and let cool completely.
-
Separating the pizza crust from the parchment paper is a bit tricky. Use a spatula to carefully lift the crust. You can also peel the parchment paper away from the crust.
To Dress the Pizza
-
Arrange pizza crusts on a clean piece of parchment paper.
-
Spoon tomato paste over the crust.
-
Add toppings.
-
Bake for a few minutes or until the cheese starts to bubble. Watch carefully since the sweet potato crust will burn quickly... although, your dog likely won't care if it's a bit burnt at the edges!
-
Cool, slice and serve.
-
Pizza can be made the day ahead and stored in the fridge until party time.
