Let me tell you something...pizza is like my spirit animal..its the one thing that I CANNOT live without and I'm telling you...this is the BEST pizza that I have ever made AND it's healthy...say what?!?!

Ingredients :
•3 medium sweet potatoes
•1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
•1 cup spinach, chopped
•1 cup pre-cooked rotisserie chicken, shredded
•1 egg
•1 cup almond flour
•1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
•1 teaspoon dried basil
•1 teaspoon garlic powder
•1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
•1/2 cup barbecue sauce
•1/2 cup tomato sauce
Directions:
Prep time..about 20 minutes Cook time..about 40 minutes total
STEP ONE: pre-heat oven to 400 F degree
STEP TWO: cook sweet potatoes in microwave until soft
STEP THREE: peel sweet potatoes ( i just cut them & scoop out guts) and add to large mixing bowl with : 1 cup almond flour, 1 egg, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon dried basil, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar. ( for an extra kick I add a pinch of chili powder.) mash ingredients until well combined and the mixture take on a doughy consistency.
STEP FOUR: use rubber spatula to spread on a pizza stone. You want the crust to be evenly distributed about 1/3 in. I used my Demarle at Home silpat instead of pizza stone. You could use either if you have them.
STEP FIVE: cook dough at 400 F degree for 30 minutes.
STEP SIX: while pizza dough is baking: shred 1 cup of pre-cooked rotisserie chicken, chop 1 cup spinach, and sauté on thinly sliced medium red onion until soft. I added a little mozzarella cheese.
STEP SEVEN: remove pizza dough from oven. Once you take it out let it cool about 20 min to let the crust harden a bit and then spread 1/2 cup bbq sauce and 1/2 cup tomato sauce on top.
STEP EIGHT: cover pizza with shredded rotisserie chicken, chopped spinach, and red onions. Drizzle with BBQ sauce.
STEP NINE: return pizza to oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
SLICE & ENJOY!
