Cauliflower Crust Sweet Potato & Sausage Pizza (Gluten-free, Dairy-free, Paleo, Kid-friendly)

It has been a while since I made a recipe and though “Oh, my gosh. People NEED this in their life!” Not trying to brag, even though I kind of am, but this pizza is so legit you guys. So nourishing and so delicious too. Did I mention its not only gluten free but also made with cauliflower crust and a bunch of other delicious veggies and real foods?!

Wow. I’m such a foodie that I even sound ridiculous to myself. I’m sorry you guys, but it really is that good! Even my husband, who would rather eat real pizza any day was raving about this Sweet Potato Pizza.

Whoever even thought of the brilliant idea of cauliflower pizza crust anyway?! Seriously!! What a genius. I very much would like to high five this person and become their friend. If you have never tried it, don’t hate. It actually tastes pretty darn amazing considering its made out of a cruciferous veggie. And your kids won’t have any clue either. Unless they’re one of those super suspicious guys.

And no, I don’t really hide it from my kids that I’m serving them pizza made out of veggies. They pretty much expect veggies to be part of every meal equation in my house at this point but I don’t really have to highlight it either because after all, it is PIZZA.

I know what you’re thinking though. You’ve tried making cauliflower crust before and you DO NOT have time for that. And its messy as heck too. You’re so not going there again.

Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered boo. I don’t bother with homemade cauliflower crust anymore either. Unless I have a lot of time on my hands and a lot of patience, nope, not going there.

Thankfully for you and I both, I finally found a store-bought cauliflower pizza crust that is made out of legit ingredients with no fluff or fillers and tastes delicious. Most other brands I’ve used in the past have odd fillers and use mozzarella cheese (I don’t eat conventional dairy). But this brand below has all wholesome, real food ingredients that make a gluten-free organic mama like me very, very happy!

One more thing, I forgot to mention before I give you the recipe. Its a total week-night dinner time saver. It only takes about 30 minutes total cooking time to throw together. A win-win-win in my book!

Serves: 5 people
Time: 30 minutes

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 Cauliflower Pizza Crust (store bought, I love this brand)

• 1 + 1/2 large sweet potato precooked until soft (in oven or crockpot/instant pot)

• 1 pack of nitrate free Italian sausage, casings removed and chopped

• 1 medium onion, diced

• 2 cloves garlic, peeled and diced

• 1/2 jar sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped

• 1 jar or can of pizza sauce

• coconut oil or ghee for cooking

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• salt and pepper

• 1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped and diced

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Before hand, cook your sweet potatoes. I threw 2 sweet potatoes into the Instantpot for 15 minutes on pressure cook until they were fork tender. Scoop out the insides of the sweet potatoes and set them aside.

2. Remove crusts from the package and set them on a baking sheet. Set the oven for 400 degrees.

3. Chop the onions, garlic, sausage and sun-dried tomatoes.

4. Heat your oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage to the pan and let it begin to cook for about 3 minutes.

5. Add the onions and garlic and saute in the oils until they begin to soften and soak up the flavor of the sausage, about 7 minutes.

6. Add the sun-dried tomatoes and the pizzas sauce and combine well. Turn the heat to low and cover and cook for about 10 minutes.

7. Remove the cover and add in the softened sweet potato mix and stir it into the pizza sauce mixture until its fully combined.

8. Add your salt, pepper, garlic powder and basil and combine. You can garnish with fresh basil on top if you would like.

9. Once the sweet potato sausage sauce is ready, spread it evenly onto the two cauliflower crusts and bake for 10-14 minutes or until the crust begins become slightly crisp.

10. Enjoy!
