Ingredients

  • 1 cup Butternut squash peeled and cubed
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 onions thinly sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves sliced
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 cup baby kale roughly chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh sage
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 2 naan flatbreads
  • 1/4 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
  • 2 tablespoons hazelnuts roughly chopped
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • balsamic glaze optional, for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425° F.
  • Peel and cut the butternut squash into 1 inch cubes and place on a baking sheet.
  • Toss the squash with 1 teaspoon of olive oil, coating each piece.
  • Season the squash with salt and pepper.
  • Roast the squash for 20 minutes until soft and slightly caramelized.
  • Thinly slice the onions.  Melt butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the onions.  Cook the onions over low to medium heat for 20 to 30 minutes until soft and caramelized.  Season with salt and pepper.
  • Slice the garlic and add to the pan with the onions to infuse extra flavor.
  • Spread a thin layer of ricotta cheese over each flatbread.  Top with shredded mozzarella cheese, then 2 tablespoons of caramelized onions, 2 tablespoons roasted squash and 1 tablespoon chopped hazelnuts for each pizza.  Bake for 10 minutes at 415° F.
  • While the pizzas are baking, heat 1 tablespoon butter in a non-stick skillet.  Add the sage leaves.  Sprinkle the sage with sugar and fry until crisp.
  • Once the pizzas are cooked, remove them from the oven, drizzle with honey, then top with the chopped kale and candied sage.
  • Serve with balsamic glaze if desired.
