Ingredients
  

For the pizza
  • 1 medium butternut squash, peeled and cubed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • to taste Salt
  • to taste Pepper
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 pre-made pizza crust or dough

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Toss the cubed butternut squash in olive oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Spread it onto a baking sheet.
  3. Roast the butternut squash in the oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.
  4. While the squash roasts, melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt, stirring frequently until they become soft and golden brown, about 15-20 minutes.
Assembling and Baking
  1. Roll out the pre-made dough on a baking sheet.
  2. Spread a thin layer of ricotta cheese over the crust, followed by an even layer of mozzarella cheese.
  3. Add the roasted butternut squash and caramelized onions on top of the cheese.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
  5. Garnish with fresh rosemary or sage just before serving.
