Today we have a pretty good winter flatbread situation for you. This is one of those easy recipes that you can make to eat as a meal, or as a perfect appetizer. We used Stonefire’s pizza crust because it tastes really good and it’s pre baked, which means you only need to top it and bake it for a little bit until everything get’s nice and toasty. Any flatbread will work!
Sweet potatoes are in abundance right now and added that with some cheese and caramelized onions. We then topped out savory flatbread with some fried sage leaves because it’s super tasty, and also very pretty. We love to pair this with a simple salad:

Hi! Can’t wait to bring this to thanksgiving dinner for an. App! Quick question: it says to caramelize onions for 30-40 min, is that right? That seems like a really long time.
Yes, to really caramelize them until they “melt”, although a shorter caramelization will still make a great end result!
Sweet potatoes are my favorite vegetables but I have never had it on a flatbread before. I think this will make a great addition to my menu next week.
This looks amazing and I can’t wait to try it! Quick question – how many people does it serve as dinner/appetizer?
I think it depends. I’d say 1 flatbread for about 4 people as an app, and maybe 2 people for dinner!
What a perfect combination of ingredients – I love this!
This looks delicious! I’ve been craving a good flatbread lately, might have to give this one a try!
