Nothing brings people together around the table like a cheesy, delicious, homemade pizza! One of our favorite seasonal Fall ingredients is sweet potato. It’s packed with flavour and we use it in our favorite soups, pizzas, rice dishes, pasta dishes and serve it as a side to fish and meat recipes. We stock up on sweet potatoes at our local Parisian market, the Marché d’Aligre, where we are lucky to have several organic fruit and veggie choices.

  • Use fresh, buffala mozzarella for the best flavor.

Add your own twist to this sweet potato pizza

  • We used a pre-made, organic pizza crust from the health food store here in Paris, but you could absolutely make your own as well. We love this easy homemade pizza dough recipe.
  • Based on the cheeses you love, you could replace the mozzarella with another cheese or add another cheese or two for extra cheesiness.
  • Add extra veggies to this tasty vegetarian pizza. We have added mushrooms, zucchini and asparagus to this pizza in the past.
  • For extra color, flavor and vitamins, top your pizza with arugula.
