BBQ Sweet Potato Pizza. Easy Summer Pizza with Sweet Potato, Corn, Jalapeno tossed in homemade BBQ Seasoning and dressed in Barbecue sauce. Grill or bake or make into a quesadilla. Vegan Nut-free Recipe. Soy-free Gluten-free option
Sometimes you just need a simple veggie pizza with good drizzle of bbq sauce. My summer meals have been vegetable heavy with less beans. They just seem to feel better on the tummy. So this Pizza is just veggies.
The pizza uses my 20 Minute Pizza Crust and barbecue sauce tossed with some cooked sweet potato, corn, peppers, onions and jalapeno. The veggies are then sprinkled with my from scratch Barbecue seasoning(which needs to be used in many other ways!). Many of the ingredients have a sweetish profile. I was wondering about that when I made this the first time but surprisingly that is what I wanted to eat. It also helped curb the sweet craving post lunch. Use your favorite bbq sauce, I like this Annie’s Smoky Maple bbq Sauce, or use my soy-free bbq sauce. Add other veggies like small florets of cauliflower or broccoli or some black beans or chickpeas tossed in the fabulous bbq seasoning.
Easy, flavorful and Summery!

We loved it. Next time I will make it without the jalapeño because it was too hot for our delicate tastebuds ;). I will also toss the spices with the potatoes and corn. I used a pre-made pizza crust. I added sliced tomatoes, black olives, and grated carrots.

I love this BBQ pizza. I’ve made it twice now. I used a pre-made dough both times, but otherwise followed the recipe.
Richa
Awesome!

We loved this (and my husband claims he doesn’t like sweet potatoes)! I made it as written, except I used a pre made crust, and I sprinkled a tiny bit of vegan mozzarella. This is so super easy, and I had all the ingredients on hand. The only thing I wasn’t sure of was how much seasoning to use. It said “generously”, but I wasn’t sure if that meant all of it. I started with less, cooked and tasted as I went and used about 3/4. For those wondering, all of it would have been great! Thanks, Richa!!
Richa
Awesome! I use all of it. It depends on how hot the blend turns out.
Benjamin Ehinger
Wow! I am going to have to give this one a try. Wife and I are huge pizza fans, but being vegan makes it a bit harder. If this is as good as it looks, it could become a staple in our house.
