How to Make These Pizza Bites
Step 1: Preheat and Prep - Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil, and lightly grease it with olive oil. Set aside.
Step 2: Slice the Potatoes & Season - Wash, dry, and slice the sweet potatoes into even 1-inch rounds. Place the sweet potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops generously with olive oil. Sprinkle the garlic powder, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper evenly over the slices.
Step 3: Bake - Bake the sweet potatoes in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until fork-tender and golden brown on the bottom.
Step 4: Add Toppings - Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Spoon a small amount of tomato sauce onto each sweet potato round. Evenly sprinkle the dried basil, oregano, and shredded mozzarella cheese over the top, then place a single slice of turkey pepperoni on each.
Step 5: Broil & Serve - Switch your oven to broil at 500°F (260°C). Return the baking sheet to the oven and broil for 2 to 5 minutes, keeping a close eye on them, until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown. Remove from the oven, finish with a light pinch of fresh sea salt and black pepper, and serve warm right away. Enjoy!
