Smashed Sweet Potato Pizza

Who knew a baked sweet potato could turn into a pizza? This little gem is a tasty gluten-free option to pizza crust. Don't get me wrong, I love me a good pizza but if you're looking for a quick and healthy alternative this is it!

Ingredients:
1 medium sweet potato 
3-4 tsps BBQ sauce
3/4 cup shredded mozzarella 
1/4-1/2 cup cooked chopped chicken 
Some thinly sliced red bell pepper
Olive oil, regular or spicy 
First, scrub the sweet potato clean and pierce a few time with a fork. Microwave on high 4 minutes until tender. 
Split it down the middle but don't cut right through. Splay it opened on a parchment lined baking sheet peel side down. Cover with another piece of parchment and press down with a heavy skillet or use a rolling pin to press the potato to about 1/4" thick. Peel off top layer of parchment.
Spread with your favourite BBQ sauce then add mozzarella, chicken, red pepper and a drizzle of oil.
Pop into a 350°F oven for 10-12 minutes then broil a couple of minutes to bubble up the cheese. 
Serves 2 for a light lunch
