Ingredients

• 1 ball (store-bought or homemade, approximately 250g) Pizza dough
• 1 medium (about 200g) Sweet potato
• 1 teaspoon Curry powder
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Tomato sauce
• 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 cup Baby rocket (arugula)
• 6 halved Cherry tomatoes
• 0.25 thinly sliced Red onion
• 0.5 cup (shredded) Vegan cheese (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat.

Step 2

Peel and dice the sweet potato into small 1-cm cubes.

Step 3

In a bowl, toss the sweet potato cubes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, curry powder, salt, and black pepper. Spread them onto a baking tray and roast in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until tender and lightly golden. Remove and set aside.

Step 4

While the sweet potato is roasting, lightly flour your work surface and roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness (approximately 10-12 inches in diameter).

Step 5

Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 6

Sprinkle the tomato sauce with nutritional yeast and garlic powder for added flavor.

Step 7

Scatter the roasted sweet potato cubes over the pizza base, followed by cherry tomato halves, thinly sliced red onion, and vegan cheese (if using).

Step 8

Transfer the assembled pizza onto the preheated baking stone or sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden, and the toppings are heated through.

Step 9

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes.

Step 10

Top the pizza with a generous handful of fresh rocket (arugula) and drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 11

Slice and serve immediately while the crust is crisp and the toppings are warm.
