It's been a very long time since I've posted a pizza recipe on this site and I had to remedy that immediately. This pizza has some of my favorite winter ingredients, but used in a fun way instead of another stew or casserole. Since it's chock full of vegetables, you can fool yourself into thinking this is healthy. You'll probably have a lot of kale left over after making this. Make kale chips and try not to devour them all on one sitting. I love the sweet potatoes and onions with the slightly bitter and crispy kale. I added a few red pepper flakes when serving to give it a spicy edge, but a drizzle of balsamic cream would be amazing as well and would tie everything together nicely.
Pizza ingredients
Add olive oil and seasonings to the kale
Do the same with the sweet potatoes
Roll out the dough to something that resembles a circle
Brush the dough with oil
Top with cheese
Add the sweet potatoes
The the onions
Bake for 5 minutes
Add the kale
It's done!

Sweet Potato and Kale Pizza
(By Esi)
Makes 2 9-inch pizzas
1 pound curly kale, washed, dried, and torn into pieces
1 small sweet potato, peeled and thinly sliced
Extra virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper
Cornmeal as needed
1 pound whole wheat pizza dough, at room temperature
1 cup mozzarella cheese
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees and line a baking sheet with foil. Spread a thin layer of cornmeal on the foil and set aside.
In a large bowl, drizzle the kale with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to lightly coat all of the kale with oil and seasonings.
Drizzle the sweet potato slices with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to one large circle or two 9-inch circles. Brush any excess flour off the dough.
Brush the dough with a thin layer of olive oil. Top with the mozzarella and then the sweet potato and onion slices.
Bake the pizza for 5 minutes. Take the pizza out of the oven and top with the kale. Bake for an additional five minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbling, the sweet potatoes are cooked through, and the kale is crisp. Serve immediately.

Esi! This pizza is just beautiful! What a unique and delicious vegetarian option.
One of my favorite pizzas!
Love that crispy kale on top of this pizza, nice combo with the creamy sweet potatoes :)
This is my kind of pizza! Really love the sweet potato and onion on there
I've never thought of adding sweet potato to a pizza. Thanks for the idea!
With both kale AND sweet potatoes, this is a nutritional all-star!
I've never eaten kale before, but now I'm craving it!
Love this pizza! Sweet potatoes are an all-time favorite food of mine, and kale chips are so darn tasty. Combine them as toppings on a pizza, and I'm sold ;).
Oh yum! Just the other day I thought I should try kale on pizza (it is my fave veg) - this is beautiful with the orange and green!
what a FANTASTIC pizza! Love the combination of sweet taters and kale. I need to try putting kale on pizza now.... or a kale and sweet potato grilled cheese?
Pizza looks great. I could pretend it fits in my diet.
that looks so good! reminds me of a butternut squash from stella rossa that i loved.
Not only good, but a pretty pizza. I would make kale salad with my left overs.
Sweet potatoes and kale are a great match, and they fabulous on the pizza. Lucky me, I just got some sweet potatoes and kale from my CSA this week!
If this pizza had quinoa on it, it would involve pretty much all my favorite things in the food universe. Hmmm... quinoa on pizza... do I dare???
I still need to make kale chips, by the way. This will happen in the year of yes, oh yes it will.
looks great, one of my favorite combos :)
this sounds good. Something new to try as well. thanks for sharing this recipe.
