Main Ingredients

- 10 Black Olives
- A few fresh Basil leaves (optional)
- 10 Black Olives
- A few fresh Basil leaves (optional)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, steam or boil the sweet potatoes until they are tender. While they are still warm, peel them – this is easiest when they’re warm. Place the peeled sweet potatoes in a bowl and add 1 tablespoon of butter.
Step 2
Using a fork or a potato masher, gently mash the sweet potatoes and butter together until smooth. Aim for a creamy consistency with no large lumps.
Step 3
For an extra touch of sweetness and flavor, you can add about 1/2 teaspoon of sugar and a pinch of salt to the mashed sweet potato. Mix well to combine. The sugar enhances the natural sweetness, and a touch of salt balances the flavors beautifully.
Step 4
Lay one tortilla flat. Sprinkle a layer of mozzarella cheese over it, leaving a small border around the edge.
Step 5
Carefully place the second tortilla directly on top of the first one. This creates a stable base for the sweet potato topping.
Step 6
Spread the smooth sweet potato mixture evenly over the top tortilla, making sure to cover the surface completely, right to the edges. A thin, even layer works best for even cooking.
Step 7
Generously top with more mozzarella cheese, just as you would on a traditional pizza. Slice the black olives into rounds and arrange them on top of the cheese. The briny olives add a wonderful contrast to the sweet potato.
Step 8
Bake in a preheated oven or air fryer at 200°C (390°F) for 10-12 minutes, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
Step 9
And there you have it – your beautifully baked sweet potato tortilla pizza! The melted cheese and golden crust look irresistible. For an extra touch of freshness and aroma, garnish with a few fresh basil leaves. Enjoy this delightful pizza while it’s warm!
