For the Pizza
- 1 fresh or frozen pizza crust of choice
- 1/4 small butternut squash, peeled
- 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1/2 cup ricotta or feta cheese (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 handful(s) arugula
- pomegranate seeds, for topping For Drizzling
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3/4 teaspoon pomegranate molasses
Instructions
- Step 1: Heat the oven to the temperature indicated on your pizza crust. If pre-baking is required before adding the toppings, do so now.
- Step 2: Use a vegetable peeler to peel the sides of the quartered squash into thin ribbons. 1 large handful(s) of butternut ribbons should be enough per crust (depending on the size of your crust). Toss the butternut ribbons with a little drizzle of olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Step 3: Scatter the mozzarella over the crust. Next, layer the butternut squash ribbons in a single layer (try not to overlap too much, so that they can cook all the way through). The volume of the ribbons will decrease once cooked. Dollop the ricotta or feta on top.
- Step 4: Bake at 450 degrees Fahrenheit for 8 to 10 minutes, and then broil for the final 1 minute, or until the toppings are hot and the squash is soft. Keep an eye on it, as different pizzas will cook at different rates.
- Step 5: Meanwhile, toss the arugula in the olive oil and pomegranate molasses.
- Serve: Top the warm pizza with the dressed arugula and sprinkle with pomegranate seeds. Enjoy.
