Two Super Easy and Healthy Pizza Meal Prep Recipe Ideas

Gluten-Free Sweet Potato Pizza

If you’re into veggie crusts, this is a must-try! Sweet, healthy, and full of flavor, this sweet potato pizza is a yummy (and easy) weeknight dinner.

Ingredients:

• 1 ½ cups sweet potato purée from roasted sweet potatoes (makes 4 small pizza crusts)
• 1 egg
• 1 cup almond flour
• ¼ cup arrowroot
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Pizza is Life Seasoning

Toppings:

• ¾ cup marinara or pizza sauce
• 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 2 cups sliced veggies – mushrooms, onions, peppers, olives, and zucchini
• Parmesan to garnish

Directions:

1. Roast sweet potatoes until soft.
2. Once potatoes have cooled, scoop out the flesh, and measure out 1 ½ cups of sweet potato puree.
3. In a large mixing bowl, add sweet potatoes, and use a hand mixer to whip the sweet potatoes until they are smooth.
4. Add the rest of the ingredients, and use the hand mixer again to mix well. Preheat oven to 425°F.
5. Line a cookie sheet with baking paper. Scoop “dough” in heaping ½ cups.
6. Wet your fingers, and lightly press down on the top of each mound. Cover 1 mound of dough with another piece of parchment, and then use a meal prep container to press down until the sweet potato is about the size and shape of the container. The centers of the crusts need to be very thin to cook up solid.
7. Bake the crusts for 30 minutes.
8. Top the crusts with sauce, cheese, and veggies, as desired.
9. Return topped pizzas to the oven for 12-20 minutes, depending on how many toppings are added.
10. These pizzas are delicious cold, but reheat well also! To reheat, place on a lined cookie sheet, and bake at 425°F for 12 minutes. (credit: mealpreponfleek)
