You can't do this from the UI, but it can be done from the shell. I've done this with a single disk vdev recently - includes setting up the partitions properly for swap. If your single disk vdev is from an older version of FreeNAS you will need to check the partitions to see how they are setup, you will need to make the new disk the same. The instructions below mimic the partition setup in v11. If you have encryption setup, then there are some other posts in that thread covering that.
