Sweet Potato Pizza

The Thermomix TM7 grates, steams and mixes every element, making this vegetable pizza easy to prepare on any weeknight.
About this recipe
Sweet Potato Pizza Thermomix TM7 is the recipe to try when you love pizza but want a gluten-free, vegetable-packed twist for a quick weeknight dinner. Instead of wheat dough, this version relies on naturally sweet steamed sweet potato bound with rice flour and freshly grated Parmesan, creating a base that bakes up golden at the edges and tender in the middle. The all-in-one kitchen machine does the heavy lifting: the TM7 grates a tidy pile of Parmesan in seconds, steams the sweet potato cubes gently in the Varoma until fork-tender, and mixes the dough evenly so the crust holds together without kneading by hand. Topped with milky mozzarella, burst cherry tomatoes and briny olives, this pizza delivers classic Italian flavours in a lighter, coeliac-friendly format. It is an excellent choice for vegetarian guests, family pizza nights or meal prep, and it proves that a wholesome vegetable base can be just as satisfying as traditional pizza dough.
Preparation tips
- Pat the steamed sweet potato cubes dry before mixing them with the rice flour and Parmesan; excess moisture is the main reason a sweet potato pizza base turns soggy instead of golden.
- Spread the dough evenly on baking paper and create a slight rim around the edge, so the mozzarella and cherry tomato juices stay on the pizza rather than leaking onto the baking tray during baking.
- For a kid-friendly version, halve the olives or swap them for sweetcorn, and let children arrange the cherry tomatoes and mozzarella themselves to make dinner more fun.
- Leftover baked pizza slices keep well in an airtight container in the fridge and taste excellent reheated in a hot oven, so bake a double batch on Sunday for easy lunches.
Recipe variations
- Dairy-free variation: replace the Parmesan and mozzarella with a matured plant-based cheese and add nutritional yeast to the sweet potato base for a savoury, umami-rich depth that keeps the crust golden and gluten-free.
- Festive autumn variation: top the sweet potato base with roasted pumpkin slices, red onion and crumbled feta, then finish with fresh thyme and a drizzle of olive oil for a seasonal pizza that shines at gatherings.
