2 large sweet potatoes, washed, ends removed and cut into ½ inch slices
1 tbsp coconut oil
1lb ground Italian sausage
1 bell pepper, finely chopped
1 jalapeno pepper, sliced
Uncured pork pepperoni or any other pepperoni
½ cup - 1 cup Daiya dairy-free or regular shredded mozzarella cheese
12oz all natural pizza sauce
½ tsp sea salt
½ tsp garlic powder
1 tsp oregano
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the sweet potato slices on the parchment paper lined baking sheet and brush each side with coconut oil. Bake for 40 minutes flipping halfway through.
While the sweet potatoes bake, add the ground sausage to a large skillet over high heat and brown until fully cooked. Add the peppers, seasonings and pizza sauce and mix well. Bring to a low heat and let simmer until sweet potatoes finish cooking.
Compile the pizza bites by first placing two (or more) slices of pepperoni on each sweet potato slice. Then, add a scoop of the Italian sausage mixture to each slice and top with mozzarella cheese. Place the pizza bites in the oven for 10 minutes or until cheese is melted.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
