Ingredients
- 1 pizza dough store-bought or homemade
- 1 large sweet potato peeled and thinly sliced
- 2 large onions thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter or vegan butter
- 4 oz goat cheese or vegan cheese
- 2 cups fresh arugula
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup for vegan option
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Balsamic Reduction: In a small saucepan, combine the balsamic vinegar and honey (or agave syrup).
- Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer until the mixture is reduced by half and has a syrupy consistency, about 10-15 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- Caramelize the Onions: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat.
- Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and caramelized, about 20-25 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Prepare the Sweet Potato Slices: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Toss the sweet potato slices with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Spread the slices on a baking sheet and roast for about 15 minutes, or until tender but not mushy. Remove from oven and set aside.
- Assemble the Pizza: Increase the oven temperature to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven to heat.
- Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness.
- Transfer the dough to a piece of parchment paper for easy handling.
- Spread the caramelized onions evenly over the dough.
- Arrange the roasted sweet potato slices on top.
- Crumble the goat cheese (or sprinkle the vegan cheese) over the pizza.
- Bake the Pizza: Carefully transfer the pizza (with the parchment paper) onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Finish and Serve: Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Top with fresh arugula and drizzle with the balsamic reduction.
- Slice and serve immediately.
