Ingredients
  

1 medium sweet potato (about 1 cup, mashed)

1 pre-made pizza crust (store-bought or homemade)

1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed

1/2 cup corn (frozen or fresh)

1/2 cup diced bell peppers (any color)

1/2 cup diced onion

1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon cumin

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Sour cream or Greek yogurt (for serving, optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Sweet Potato: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel and dice the sweet potato into cubes, then place them in a pot of boiling salted water. Cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and mash the sweet potato in a bowl until smooth. Set aside.

    Sauté the Vegetables: In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell peppers, and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are softened.

      Combine the Mixture: In a large bowl, mix the mashed sweet potato, black beans, corn, sautéed onions, and bell peppers. Stir in the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning according to your taste.

        Assemble the Pizza: Place the pizza crust on a pizza stone or baking sheet. Spread the sweet potato and vegetable mixture evenly over the crust. Top with shredded cheese, sprinkling it generously across the top.

          Bake the Pizza: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the crust is golden brown.

            Slice and Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired. Slice into wedges and serve warm with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt for added creaminess.
