ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups Japanese sweet potatoes, peeled, cubed and steamed
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons coconut flour
  • 1 tablespoon tahini, plus more for drizzling
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt, as needed
  • 1/2 cup strawberries, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
  • 1 cup vegan gouda cheese
  • 1 cup arugula
  • 1/4 cup jarred or homemade vegan pesto
  • 1 avocado, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons pine nuts, toasted

Method

  • Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 425℉ and line and prepare a greased parchment paper covered baking sheet or pizza stone.

  • Step 2

    Add steamed sweet potato, coconut flour, tahini, thyme and salt to a food processor and process until a dough forms.

  • Step 3

    Press the crust in an even layer onto the prepared pan and bake until light golden brown, about 35 minutes.

  • Step 4

    While the crust is cooking, marinate the strawberries. In a small bowl, add the strawberries and balsamic. Toss to combine and set aside.

  • Step 5

    Once the crust is baked, top with gouda, arugula, vegan pesto, balsamic-soaked strawberries, avocado, toasted pine nuts, and tahini.
