I have also used butternut squash in the past for this pizza. It looks really pretty with the green pesto and the orange squash, and my whole family loves it.
Ingredients
- 1 delicata squash – halved lengthwise, seeded, and cut into 1/4-inch slices
- 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon flour, or as needed for dusting
- 1 (16 ounce) package pizza dough
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch, for dusting
- 4 tablespoons basil pesto sauce
- 16 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese, or as needed
- ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste
- 2 tablespoons chopped pecans, or more to taste (Optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Step 2
Combine delicata squash and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a bowl and mix well. Spread out on a baking sheet and season with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Bake in the preheated oven until delicata squash has softened, about 10 minutes. Cut into pieces.
Step 4
Increase oven temperature to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
Step 5
Divide pizza dough into 2 equal pieces. Dust a work surface with flour and roll dough out into 2 pizza rounds.
Step 6
Dust 2 baking sheets with cornstarch and transfer pizza rounds onto baking sheets. Brush each pizza first with 1 tablespoon olive oil, followed by 2 tablespoons pesto. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese on top. Sprinkle squash pieces on top of cheese.
Step 7
Bake in the hot oven until pizza crust is crispy, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle with pecan nuts.
