Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 naan breads
- 1 cup sweet potatoes, diced
- 1 cup chorizo, cooked
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 tablespoon fresh sage, chopped
- Olive oil for brushing
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Dice the sweet potatoes into small, uniform cubes (approximately 1/2 inch). Toss the sweet potato cubes with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Spread the sweet potato cubes on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized, stirring once halfway through cooking.
- While the sweet potatoes are roasting, cook the chorizo in a skillet over medium heat until it's crispy and fully cooked, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
- Place the naan breads on a clean baking sheet. Lightly brush each naan with olive oil to help create a crispy base.
- Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly across each naan bread, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Once the sweet potatoes are roasted, distribute them evenly over the cheese-covered naan breads.
- Add the cooked chorizo on top of the sweet potatoes, spreading it out evenly.
- Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the naan edges are golden and crisp.
- Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle chopped fresh sage over the top of each naan pizza.
- Let the naan pizzas cool for 2-3 minutes, then slice and serve hot. Optionally, you can drizzle with additional olive oil or add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for extra heat.
Tips
- For maximum flavor, use fresh chorizo and ensure it's crispy when cooked to enhance the overall texture and taste.
- Cut sweet potatoes into uniform, small cubes to ensure even roasting and caramelization.
- Don't skip brushing the naan with olive oil – this creates a crispy base and adds a subtle richness.
- Watch the naan pizzas closely in the final baking stage to prevent burning, as naan can crisp up quickly.
- Fresh sage is key – chop it just before sprinkling to release its most vibrant flavors.
- For a spicy kick, add red pepper flakes or a drizzle of hot sauce after baking.
- Serve immediately for the best texture, with the cheese still melty and the naan crisp and warm.
