Ingredients

• Sunchokes - 200 grams
• Almond flour - 100 grams
• Coconut oil - 2 tablespoons
• Fresh sage leaves - 10 grams, chopped
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Sea salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Nutritional yeast - 2 tablespoons
• Water - 50 milliliters

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. Wash and scrub the sunchokes, then slice them thinly using a mandoline or sharp knife.
3. In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat, add minced garlic and chopped sage, and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Add the sliced sunchokes to the skillet, season with sea salt and black pepper, and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until they are tender.
5. In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut oil, nutritional yeast, and water to form a dough. Knead gently until smooth.
6. On a parchment-lined baking sheet, press the dough into a circular pizza shape, about 1/4 inch thick.
7. Pre-bake the crust in the oven for 10 minutes until slightly golden.
8. Remove the crust from the oven, spread the sautéed sunchokes and sage evenly on top, and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the edges are crispy.
9. Allow the pizza to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy!
