Experience a unique flavor fusion with this scrumptious sweet potato pizza featuring spicy chorizo, honey drizzle, and creamy goat cheese.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 16 oz pizza crust dough
- ½ cup canned yams in syrup or canned sweet potatoes
- 1 cup chorizo cooked & crumbled
- 1 habanero pepper diced
- ¼ cup white onion sliced
- 4 mushrooms sliced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 tablespoons sunflower seeds
- ½ cup feta cheese (made with goats milk, optional)
- ¼ cup fresh parsley
- ¼ cup local honey for drizzling
- salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and place a pizza stone on the center rack.
- In a small pan over medium-high heat, fry the bacon until crisp. Remove from the pan and crumble.
- In the same pan with the remaining bacon fat, brown the chorizo sausage. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Add the sliced mushrooms and onion to the pan and sauté until the onion is translucent and the mushrooms have released their moisture. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Using a small blender, combine the canned yams or sweet potatoes in syrup with minced garlic, two tablespoons of sunflower seeds, a sprig of fresh parsley, and the diced habanero pepper. Blend until smooth, adding more syrup if necessary.
- In the same pan, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Pour in the sweet potato sauce and stir until the butter is fully incorporated and the sauce becomes fragrant. Add a pinch of salt and pepper. Remove from heat and let the sauce cool for a few minutes.
- Roll out the pizza dough on the preheated stone or a pizza board. Spread the sweet potato sauce on the dough, leaving room for a crust.
- Arrange the sliced squash and tomatoes on top of the sauce, then cover with the cooked chorizo, bacon, mushrooms, and onions. Sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese (if using).
- Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges of the crust are golden brown and the center of the pizza has slightly puffed up.
- Once cooked, drizzle the pizza with honey and garnish with fresh parsley and the remaining sunflower seeds. Serve the pizza warm as a meal or at room temperature as an appetizer. Enjoy!
