Ingredients

• 1 large Sweet potato
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 pound Pizza dough
• 0.5 cups Buffalo sauce
• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 0.5 cups Blue cheese, crumbled
• 2 tablespoons Fresh chives, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Cornmeal or flour (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Peel the sweet potato and dice it into small, bite-sized cubes.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, toss the sweet potato cubes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

Step 4

Spread the sweet potato cubes onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized, flipping halfway through.

Step 5

While the sweet potatoes are roasting, increase the oven temperature to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to preheat.

Step 6

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. If using cornmeal, sprinkle 1 tablespoon onto a pizza peel or a flat baking sheet to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Spread the buffalo sauce evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 8

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly across the buffalo sauce. Then, scatter the roasted sweet potato cubes over the top.

Step 9

Crumble the blue cheese evenly across the pizza.

Step 10

Carefully transfer the pizza onto the preheated stone or baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbling.

Step 11

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle with fresh chopped chives for a burst of flavor.

Step 12

Slice and serve warm. Enjoy your Buffalo Sweet Potato Blue Cheese Pizza!
