A spiralized sweet potato crust veggie pizza that redefines the definition of veggie pizza! A filling and nutritious healthy pizza that is all vegetable, making it gluten-free, vegan, paleo, grain-free and a perfect twist on the traditional pizza night pie!
I told you last week that I had more to share! So I’m officially declaring May, not only Celiac Awareness Month, but also PIZZA Month! You should smile; it’s a good thing! I also think it’s a mighty fine way to beckon late spring and summer to us. Pizza is surely not seasonal. You can make a seasonal pie, but let’s be honest. There is never ever a bad time to bake up a pie!
This veggie pizza was long overdue for sharing here on the blog. I believe it’s from last summer, so we’ve come full circle! It’s a little sad that I’ve let this one slip for so long. We need to spiralize more! Confession time: I don’t use my spiralizer much. Maybe once every few months? I know…shame.
It’s even in a very easily accessible place (unlike my slow cooker), right in a bottom cabinet with where extra food, protein powders, my falling apart toaster oven, and rice cooker live. But it sadly stays there (crying in the darkness!) Using it for pizza is one of the best ways to show it some love though. If I was a spiralizer, I’d want to be used to make pizza! This is one awesome pizza to boot! It may just be making the cassava crust jealous!
You know what my favorite thing about this spiralized pizza is? Single-serve! Why of course! I know some people find it hard to call any pizza anything but “single-serve” 😉 I know the “pie love” can run pretty deep at times! Did you know there are actually some people who don’t like pizza!? I know it sounds crazy, but it’s true. I recall this one lone child I went to school with, who said he hated pizza :O That’s pretty attuned with hating chocolate. A life without pizza is like a life without bagels (but worse!)
But there’s no pizza-haters here…right? Okay good, I’m glad we can all be friends. I understand some people having strong topping preferences, but hating the entire pizza culture? Unimaginable! That kid must have had some sad birthday parties…haha! And isn’t pizza such a typical college food? What must he be eating? I have one more mind blowing tidbit about this though that will blow your pizza-loving mind further.
His parents owned one of the most popular pizza places in our town :O I know! That kid hated pizza and grew-up in a PIZZA family…the definition of a pizza family! I don’t know how that happens. He was always pretty proud of his pizza-hating and never minded the stares he would get as he so boisterously told his preferences. You know what this means though? More pizza for us! The pizza-loving people of the world!
Spiralized Sweet Potato Crust Veggie Pizza
- 1 Large Sweet Potato (spiralized with 3mm Blade)
- 3 Baby Radishes (sliced)
- 3 Large Brussels Sprouts (quartered)
- 3 Large Bell Pepper Rings
- 2 Flax Eggs (mix 2 TB Milled Flax Seed + 6 TB Water, let sit.)
- 1-2 TB Nutritional Yeast
- Sauce:
- 2 TB Unsalted Tomato Paste
- 1 Tsp Dried Oregano
- ½ Tsp Minced Garlic
- ½ Tsp Onion Powder
- ½ Tsp Dried Marjoram
- ½ Tsp Dried Basil
- ¼ Tsp Black Pepper
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Mix the spiralized sweet potato with the flax egg mixture, using you hands (be gentle).
- Mix the sauce ingredients together in a small bowl.
- Grease a 9 inch round baking dish, cast iron skillet, or baking sheet lined with parchment or silpat, and place the spirlized potato in the center and form a tight circle shape.
- Spoon on the sauce on top of the pizza crust, then layer on the veggies and sprinkle on the nutritional yeast.
- Bake in the oven for 15-18 minutes. Use a spatula to gentle remove onto a plate.
 
Now, this pizza is obviously more “fork-friendly” than, slice and eat with you hands. But if you want to get messy..use your hands 😉 I’m sure you know that’s what I do! I fully embrace the pizza culture in every way I possibly can!
**I get asked all the time, so THIS is the spiralizer you want to buy if you still don’t have one!**
So tell me:
+ Do you know any pizza-haters?
+ How often do you use your spiralizer?

I can’t imagine not liking pizza. Pizza is almost a staple at our house. My kids like meat and like vegetarian, but I’ve never had one completely made out of veggies. This will give me an excuse for putting my spiralizer to use.

Haha, well here you go!
Never had radishes on my pizza before but this sounds delicious! Love the spiralized sweet potatoes as crust – what a brilliant idea!
Thank you!
Would never have thought of this but it sounds really nice & much healthier!
I hope you give ti a try then!
That looks absolutely delicious!
I actually have a spiralizer at home, but I keep forgetting to use it so it’s starting to collect dust – this is the kind of dish that makes me want to get that baby out! X

Haha, right? I feel you on the neglect!
“PIZZA Month!” YES!!!!! Every month should be pizza month! Pizza is my very favourite food and I love the creative way you made the crust. I sadly haven’t used my spiralizer in over a year. yikes! I need to get it out, dust it off and show it some love.
I’m pinning & sharing. Have a great week!

No shame! My really is neglected most of the time 😛
Your imagination and flavor combinations amaze me! I never know what I’m going to find when I stop by! What a great idea to skip the traditional crust altogether!
I love pizza, but now that I’m gluten free it’s even more of a treat! So I really love this idea.

I’m loving this tasty, healthy creative spin on pizza! I can’t wait to try this in my own kitchen.

Yet another reason why I need to get a spiralizer — It looks wonderful!
Dee recently posted…Skinny Monkey Smoothie Pops
Haha, get one, get one!
Looks like a great recipe to try my spirilizer for something other than zucchini
Yes it is!
Ohhh, I haven’t used my spiralizer for months and I feel terrible about it. I always buy so many kitchen gadgets and only use it 1-2 times. Same with the pasta attachment for the kitchen aid. I’m totally motivated to make some when I’m out, but when I’m at home I don’t feel like it. Anyways, I love this spiralized sweet potato pizza! This is so genius! And I love the layer of nooch on top. YUMM.

Hahahaha! I feel you…speaking of the Kitchen Aid…I haven’t used mine in months :/ I feel REALLY bad about that one! Some with my dehydrator!
That pizza looks so very delicious. Really gluten free eating is the best, we don’t need to feel hard done by at all.
Thanks, but what?
Looks great Rebecca! Your recipes are always pretty and delicious looking. Your pizza looks yummy. I never thought about spiralizing sweet potatoes. I’m pinning this recipe.

Thanks! I hope you give it a try!
I am vegan and love pizza so I’m always looking for some new ways to get my pizza fix. Can’t wait to try!
Fantastic! You will love this, Rosemond!
We love sweet potatoes at home and this will be such a hit at my place 🙂
O, yes it will!
Great idea! I love my spiralizer and pizza so getting to add the two together sounds awesome. Pinning to try soon!
Nicole @ The Professional Mom Project recently posted…Low iodine diet friendly vegan gluten free muffins
It’s always a good idea to combine the 2 😉 Thanks Nicole!
Ooo 🙂 We usually spiralise carrots, potatoes, beetroot, courgettes and apples… I don’t think we’ve ever tried a sweet potato! If we had any I’d try it right now! 🙂 Sprouts on pizza surprised me – but then roasted sprouts are good so why not! As for your pizza hater – maybe he was only ever fed pizza… pizza for breakfast, pizza for lunch, pizza for snack, pizza for dinner?
But would that be a bad thing 😉 I say pizza 24/7!
No, especially not when you could have fruit pizza for breakfast, cauliflower pizza for lunch, chick pea pizzas for snack and your sweet potato pizza for dinner! 🙂

You had me at sweet potatoes…I absolutely love them! I’ve never used them in a pizza recipe though! This is such a creative idea and I’ll definitely have to try it sometime soon!
Yes you will!
I love everything about this pizza. The sweet potato, the spiralizer, it’s pizza…..

I love my spiralizer and love your creativity in using it for a pizza crust. That never crossed my mind. I’d so love to dig into this!
Kelly recently posted…Carrot Top Mint Pesto
Gotta make it (and maybe use that carrot top pesto of yours as a sauce!) 😉
I love the idea of a spiralized pizza base! Sounds ingenious and looks pretty too. I also don’t use my spiralizer nearly enough and it’s also hidden away where I forget about it – until I read a post like this!

Gorgeous photos! Love the wisp of smoke, makes the food look so fresh and inviting 🙂
Bahahaha! And I tried to block that wisp of smoke out 😉
What a fantastic idea! I can just imagine how crispy, crunchy the bottom gets when it’s baked, and all those wonderful toppings….Yum! And it’s super duper healthy. I’m certainly in!
Mel@avirtualvegan.com recently posted…Strawberry Baked Oatmeal
Mmhm 😉 You bet!
Potato pizza I’d heard of but using spiralized ones? That’s an intriguing idea. I’m not sure my pizza-fond family would consider it the same category as they’re homemade thin crust pizza but a Rösti – traditional Swiss potato dish; look it up on Google if you’re curious 🙂 – turned pizza would be no less creative.
Maybe Mr Pizza Hater in your school didn’t actually hate it but wanted to rebel against his parents – something a lot of children do at some point.
I very much approve of your heavy handedness on the nutritional yeast, The more, the merrier. The same goes for Brussels sprouts … mmmh.
Miss Polkadot recently posted…Week in review: Peanut butter and family time.
Lol, I know what Rosti is 😛
Ah, no, this kid was a bad seed in every way…and he really hated pizza!
Girl this looks SO Good!! I seriously need this in my life!! I just got a spiralizer and I’m OBSESSED!! I haven’t tried spiralizing sweet potatoes yet, can’t wait to!! So fun! Enjoy!
xoxo Cailee!
Cailee recently posted…30 Day Plants Based Vegan Challenge!
What!? Come on girl! Beets and sweet potatoes are what spiralizers were made for (at least in my house!) Haha! Those are the 2 I always do if I spiralize!
Sweet potato pizza sounds good 🙂 Recently I am making different veggie pizza. I will add this to my list:)
Uma recently posted…Chakkuli Recipe
I hope you try it out!
Oooh, I just got a spiralizer. I should break it in with this recipe! I feel so behind the times, esp as a vegan, to be getting a spiralizer so late in the game. Excited to use it!
Haha, yes!!! Time to make up for all the lost-spiralizing-time!
Love love love the idea of using spiralized sweet potatoes for a crust!! YUM!
Tara | Treble in the Kitchen recently posted…Sweet Potato Fried Rice {Grain-Free!}
Yes!! Right? All fun!
Funny because one of my kids asked me the other day if I know anyone who hates pizza and I said no! But that crust – yum! I’ll have to try it out in my cast iron!
Michele @ paleorunningmomma recently posted…Easy Flourless Fudge Brownie Bites {Paleo & Dairy Free}
It’s really…a tragedy if you don’t!
Mmm yes! The cast iron will give it such a good crisp bottom!
This sounds amazing! I can’t wait to try it!
Thank you! Enjoy!
This looks so good!!! Thanks for the inspo!!
I hope you make it!
Sweet potato crust pizza – YES PLEASE!! I’m loving this and the nooch just adds to the yumminess! I’m down for national pizza month. That should be every month!!
Sam @ PancakeWarriors recently posted…Cinnamon Bun Caulioats
It should be!
I have to put nooch…on everything!
I am SO super excited about this recipe for lots of reasons! This looks amazing!!! And so colorful. Just love it! I’m laughing at the kid who hated pizza, but grew up in a pizza family! That’s nuts. There was a kid I knew in grade school who not only hated pizza, but also tacos….so obviously we weren’t friends 😉 I mean really? How could you NOT like pizza?! I just completed a week of fully raw and used my spiralizer a lot! I love how it makes ordinary foods more fun! I can’t wait to try this. <3
Mandy recently posted…RECIPE: Spirulina Bites
Haha, no pizza or tacos!? What that childhood must have been like….just sadness!
I love how you can eat ANYTHING raw when it’s spiralized!
Nice! Such a creative idea!
I know! Thanks!
Ok I try to be open minded, but someone who doesn’t love pizza??? I mean, who? Seriously who? I love that this is single serve and the ‘crust’ is so creative!!!
Chrissa – Physical Kitchness recently posted…See Monterey – Our California Staycation
Hahahahhahaha, I know 😛 Sometimes people are just WRONG!
That’s such a fun way to do a pizza crust! Does it get nice and crispy like hashbrowns? I imagine it would have a soft center and crisp outside. I do not know any pizza haters except my 4 year old when he’s in a mood. But when that happens he hates just about anything so it doesn’t count. LOL!!
Sophia | Veggies Don’t Bite recently posted…Korean Teriyaki Sauce (vegan, gluten free)
Yes, yes! Just like has browns!
Haha, yea no 😉 He likes pizza 😉
What a delicious idea! I love nutritional yeast. It’s so healthy and cheesy. I’m definitely going to try this on a day when I don’t make it to the gym 🙂
Lucy recently posted…Black Forest Chocolate Cherry Smoothie
Nutritional yeast is my spirit child :O Haha!
I definitely have broken out my spiralizer more times this sumer than the last six months! Summer produce is in-spiralizing both of us I suppose! 😉
