Optional Toppings:
Drizzle of balsamic vinegar & honey

1.  Place bacon on a baking sheet, and cook in the oven at 400 for about 20 minutes, or until crispy.

2. While bacon is cooking, slice brussel sprouts thinly into strips and put aside.

3.  Using a large spoon, spread sauce on top of your pizza crust.   If adding sweet potato, chop into quarters and smash using a fork on top of pizza sauce so it's spread evenly.
