Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F).

3. While the sweet potatoes are roasting, prepare the pizza dough on a floured surface and shape it into a 10-inch round.
4. In a small bowl, mix the tomato sauce with minced garlic, and spread it evenly over the pizza dough.
5. Once the sweet potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and sprinkle the grated carrot over the sauce. Then, add the roasted sweet potatoes on top.
