Ingredients
  

1 large sweet potato, peeled and sliced into thin rounds

1 cup chickpeas, cooked and rinsed (or one 15 oz can)

1 cup red bell pepper, chopped

1/2 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)

1 cup diced tomatoes (fresh or canned)

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon chili powder

1 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or dairy-free alternative)

Fresh cilantro or parsley, for garnish

Optional: Red pepper flakes for extra heat

Instructions
 

Preheat the oven: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C).

    Prepare the sweet potato base: Arrange the sweet potato slices on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until they are tender and slightly crispy.

      Make the chili topping: In a medium skillet over medium heat, add a splash of olive oil. Sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until they're soft and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

        Add the rest of the filling: Stir in the chopped red bell pepper, corn, and chickpeas. Cook for another 5 minutes. Then, add the diced tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, and salt and pepper to taste. Let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

          Assemble the pizza slices: Once the sweet potatoes are done baking, remove them from the oven and spoon the chili mixture onto each slice. Top generously with shredded mozzarella cheese.

            Final bake: Return the sweet potato chili pizza slices to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

              Garnish and serve: Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh cilantro or parsley, and add red pepper flakes if desired. Serve these delicious slices warm and enjoy your unique flavor combination!
