Caramelized Onion and Sweet Potato Pizza Recipe
Ribbons of sweet potato mingle with jammy caramelized onions in this easy flatbread pizza recipe that works as a main dish or appetizer.
Servings 2
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet onions , peeled and cut in half then thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Kosher salt
- 2 store bought flat breads
- 15 ounces whole-milk ricotta cheese
- 3-4 sprigs fresh thyme leaves (about 2 tablespoons)
- ½ tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small sweet potato , peeled
- 3 ounces feta cheese
- Flaky sea salt
Instructions
- To caramelize the onions: Melt butter over medium heat and add onions to large skillet or pan. Stir gently to coat with butter, sprinkle with pinch or two of kosher salt. Stir onions every 5-10 minutes. Onions will begin to darken and caramelize the longer they’ve cooked, up to 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- To make each pizza: Mix ricotta cheese with olive oil and 1 tablespoon of fresh thyme leaves. Spread half of the ricotta cheese on one piece of flat bread. Top with half of caramelized onion.
- Using vegetable peeler, peel long ribbons of sweet potato from root to tip. (Sweet potatoes will shrink as they bake so peel a few more than you think you’ll need.)
- Layer sweet potatoes in ribbons, then sprinkle with half of feta cheese. Top with leaves of fresh thyme.
- Bake for 5-10 minutes or until potatoes have lightly browned. Remove from oven, drizzle with more olive oil and season with sea salt. Serve warm or at room temperature.
