Sweet Potato Pesto Kale Pizza Recipes

SWEET POTATO KALE PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425.
• Using a floured rolling pin, roll the dough from the center to the edges until the circle is about ½ inch thick or to your likeness. Transfer to a greased or oiled pizza or baking sheet.
• Microwave your sweet potato for 7 minutes. While it is microwaving, sautee the mushrooms in olive oil and garlic. Slowly add in kale and peppers and turn heat to low.
• Coat dough with tomato sauce and add toppings, saving the cheese and/or nutritional yeast for last.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes and let cool for 10 minutes before serving.

VEGAN SWEET POTATO SOUP WITH KALE PESTO

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat until shimmering. Add celery and onion; cook and stir until the vegetables soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Mix in broth, turmeric, ginger, cayenne, cumin, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil.
• Pour carefully into a high-speed blender, cover with a lid, and puree on high speed for 1 minute. Add mashed sweet potato and coconut milk; puree until soup has a creamy consistency, about 4 minutes. Add more broth or water if soup is too thick. Cover and keep warm.
• Combine kale, walnuts, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper in a blender or food processor. Process or blend at high speed into a paste, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula as needed, about 3 minutes. Pour in olive oil, one tablespoon at a time, blending after each addition. Add more oil or lemon juice if pesto seems too thick.
• Ladle the warm soup into bowls and spoon some pesto on top of each serving.

SWEET POTATO AND KALE PIZZA

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425°F. Boil a large pot of water. Cook potato in water until fork-tender, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat, drain and let cool 5 minutes. In a food processor, pulse potato, 1 tablespoon oil, red pepper and a pinch of salt until sauce is smooth. Roll out dough until 1/4 inch thick. Spread potato sauce evenly over dough. Toss kale in remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil; top pizza with goat cheese, kale and Parmesan. Bake until crust is golden, 10 to 15 minutes, sprinkling on walnuts in final 2 minutes.
