Roasted Butternut Squash Pizza
Description
This recipe starts by roasting pre-cut butternut squash until edges brown lightly and the pieces soften, emphasizing their natural sweetness and caramelization. Separately, kale is sautéed until tender and vibrantly green, adding an earthy note. Garlic butter is melted to brush atop individual naan flatbreads, which act as a quick and convenient pizza crust alternative.
The assembly layers mozzarella cheese directly on the garlic buttered naan, followed by crumbled bacon, sautéed kale, roasted butternut squash, and a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese. Baking the assembled pizzas at 375°F for a brief 5 to 10 minutes melts the cheeses and unites the toppings while maintaining the flatbread’s crisp edges. The result is a flavorful pizza balancing smoky, cheesy, sweet, and savory elements with a crisp yet tender bite.
These pizzas make a practical and flavorful meal option that can be adapted to individual topping preferences. Using naan flatbread eliminates the need for dough preparation, shortening total cooking time while delivering a satisfying homemade pizza experience.
Ingredients
- 6 Naan flatbread
- 2 cups butternut squash squares, pre cooked and roasted
- 1 cup kale cut into small pieces
- 1/2 package Bacon cooked and crumbled
- 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese shredded
- 1 cup Parmesan Cheese shredded
- 3 Tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic minced
Instructions
- Place the pre-cut butternut squash squares on a roasting pan lined with cooking spray. Bake at 375 for 20 to 30 minutes, or until it starts to soften and look roasted along the edges (watch it close, it could take longer or shorter depending on the size the squares are cut).
- In a small fry pan with a drop of oil, sauté the kale pieces until they soften slightly and turn a vibrant green color.
- In a small dish, melt together the butter and garlic in the microwave for about 45 seconds.
- Place individual flatbreads on a cookie sheet, and brush each flatbread with the melted garlic butter. Sprinkle on a layer of mozzarella then top that with crumbled bacon, cooked kale pieces, roasted butternut squash, and then a sprinkling of parmesan cheese over everything.
- Bake at 375, just until cheese melts. It should only take about 5 to 10 minutes.
