Ingredients

• Whole wheat pizza dough - 250 grams
• Sweet potato - 200 grams, peeled and diced
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 220°C (428°F).
2. In a pot of salted boiling water, cook the diced sweet potatoes for about 10 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside.
3. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the cooked sweet potatoes and spinach, cooking until the spinach wilts. Season with salt, black pepper, and dried oregano. Remove from heat.
