Rootie Pizza - Grain Free

Ingredients:
(Serves 2-5)

4 large sweet potatoes
2 cups (uncooked measurement) quinoa 
2 tbsp tomato purée
2 tomatoes
1 red bell pepper
10 olives
2 hand fulls spinach 

Rinse quinoa, add 3-4 cups water and bring to boil then simmer for 20 mins. Meanwhile, preheat oven to about 200 degrees Celsius, spread baking paper over 2 baking sheets, then chop the sweet potatoes into thick rounds leaving the skin on. Spread them over the sheets and pop in the oven for about 20-30 mins until very soft. Once done, take them out oven and allow to cool for 5-10 minutes then peel the skins off and add to a large bowl. Also to the bowl add the quinoa (for a smoother texture add the cooked quinoa to a food processor and blitz until smooth). Using a masher mash the quinoa and sweet potatoes together. Then on the same baking paper divide in two and spread the mixture out thinly (about cm thick). Bake in oven for another 15 minutes until crispy and golden on the edges. Then add your toppings- spread the tomato purée, add the tomato, pepper and olives. Bake for another 5 mins. Then your done, add fresh spinach to top and serve :)
