Butternut Squash Pizza

This Butternut Squash Pizza is flavorful and healthy. The combination of butternut squash, caramelized onions, spinach, cheese, and basil is delish!

Butternut Squash Pizza
Ingredients:
·GF Pizza Crust (Roll into pizza crust instead of folding over to make a calzone)
·¼ cup extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)
·3 cups of butternut squash, peeled and cut into small dices
·¼ cup prepared Crockpot Caramelized Onions, finely chopped
·1 cup of fresh spinach leaves, chopped
·1 cup of shredded pizza blend cheese
·2 tsp dried basil

Directions:
Preheat oven and pizza stone to 400˚. Prepare pizza dough according to recipe. Place diced butternut squash into a microwave safe bowl with 2 teaspoons of water. Cover and steam on high for 3 minutes.

Carefully remove the hot pizza stone from the oven and sprinkle the pizza stone with corn meal. Place prepared pizza dough on the hot pizza stone. Brush 3 TBS of EVOO onto the pizza dough. Top with onions, spinach, cheese, and butternut squash. Brush the remaining 1 TBS of EVOO on the butternut squash pieces. Sprinkle with dried basil.

Bake for 15-20 minutes, until dough is golden brown and cheese is melted.
