Sweet Potato Pizza with Kale & Caramelized Onions

Leslie shared this recipe with me and I'm so glad she did.  I've got an extra sweet potato and I'm thinking this looks like a fantastic way to put it to use.  Plus kale.  How could this not be a total win?  This one comes from a new-to-me blog called Jen Loves Kev.

INGREDIENTS

1 large sweet potato
1 Onion, thinly sliced
1 cup chopped kale
Milk
1 tbsp. fresh sage, chopped
1 prepared whole wheat pizza crust
1 cup shredded Fontina cheese
salt and pepper to taste

PREPARATION

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Stab sweet potato several times with fork and roast in oven for about 45 minutes, or until soft. Cool until potato is warm. Leave oven on.

2. While potato is baking, heat oil in pan over low heat. Add onion and a pinch of salt, and cook, stirring occasionally for 30-40 minutes. Add kale to pan and cook until tender and wilted. Remove from heat and add salt and pepper to taste.


3. Scoop insides of potato into medium bowl and mash; add milk, sage, and salt and mix until smooth. Spread mixture onto pizza crust.


4. Top with kale and onion mixture, and then add cheese on top. Bake pizza in oven at 400 degrees for about 10 minutes, or until kale begins to crisp and cheese melts.
