SWEET POTATO, SESAME & CHICKPEA PIZZA (VEGAN)

This pizza crust is wheat-free, gluten-free, yeast-free and grain-free. (A lot of free’s in there...) The base is a combo of vegetables, legumes and seeds which yields high density nutrition. Feel free to add whichever topping suits your taste best.

As you have probably noticed, I fall into the 'spontaneous cook' category. Experimenting with different colours, textures and flavours is a lot of fun, so I often just look what I have in my fridge and create toppings as I go.
