Caramelized Onions & Garlicky Tofu Ricotta on Sweet Potato Pizza Crust

Tomato Sauce:

Heat a saucepan over medium heat and add olive oil. Once heated add the garlic and cook for about 40 seconds. Add the San Marzano tomatoes, paste, red pepper flakes and salt & pepper. Let simmer until you are ready to garnish your pizza.

Caramelized Onions:

Heat a pan on medium high heat. Add oil and once it’s simmering add the onions. Stir to coat onions with oil. Spread the onions out evenly and add salt & sugar. Let cook for 5 minutes. Reduce heat on very low, add balsamic vinegar and cover the pan halfway.

Ricotta Tofu:

Taking a large bowl, break the tofu into large pieces. Blend until smooth with an immersion blender or food processor. Add the remaining ingredients and blend again.

Tip: If your ricotta is too thick, add 1 - 2 tablespoons of water as needed to reach desired consistency. Keep leftover ricotta for other recipes. Stays good for up to one week.

Pizza:

Assembling the pizza is the fun part! Place the crust on a baking tray, spoon on the tomato sauce, spread the ricotta tofu, caramelized onions, olives, artichoke hearts and basil. Cook in pre-heated oven for 15-17 minutes, until the crust is golden. Add additional basil for serving
