- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 egg
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
Cashew Cheese
- 1/2 cup raw cashew
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 2 tsp extra virgin olive oil

Pizza Toppings

Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and grease it lightly.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Place sweet potato chunks and coconut flour in the food processor and blend until the mixture becomes a fine texture.
- Add egg, olive oil, sea salt, and garlic powder, and pulse until the dough becomes pasty.
- Scoop out 2 tablespoons of the dough on the parchment paper and use your hands to shape into a circular crust that's about 1/4 - 1/2 inch thick. Repeat with the rest of the dough.
- Bake in the oven for 15 minutes.
- While the crust is baking, make the cashew cheese by blending all ingredients in a blender until smooth and creamy. Add more water if the consistency is too thick.
- Once the crust is done baking, top with 1 tsp marinara sauce.
- Add the cashew cheese (you might not use all of it), then top with a slice of pepperoni.
- Add black olive slices, or for Halloween, cut the olives into shapes for spiders before adding them.
- Place back in the oven and bake for another 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle with your favorite toppings, then enjoy!
