Ingredients

2 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed

1 cup ricotta cheese

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 tsp dried oregano

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/4 tsp nutmeg

1 lb pizza dough

1 egg, beaten

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. Boil the sweet potatoes in a pot of water until tender, about 15 minutes, then drain and mash.

4. Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface into a large circle.

5. Place the sweet potato and kale mixture on one half of the dough, leaving a 1-inch border.

7. Brush the top with beaten egg and make a few small cuts in the top to allow steam to escape.

8. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.

9. Let cool slightly before serving.
