    Butternut Squash and Sage Pizza is the perfect way to celebrate Fall!! cookingwithcurls.com

    Guess what? I actually got to wear jeans today!! The skies are overcast and the temperature dropped into the 70's...it actually kind of felt like a fall day...Arizona style. No matter what the thermometer says, I am having fun this year trying to create fall inspired meals to celebrate all of the beautiful colors and flavors that are only available this time of year.....

    Doesn't that Butternut Squash and Sage Pizza scream FALL? The gorgeous orange colors with strips of green and yellow. Oh wait, did I mention that is tastes really good as well? 😉

    How to make Butternut Squash and Sage Pizza:

    Now I had a bit of trouble deciding how I wanted to slice/dice my butternut squash. I wanted them to look like ribbons, but could not find the mandolin...whahn...whahn. So I thinly sliced 1 cup.....

    Nope, don't look like ribbons at all. 🙁 Then I diced the second cup.....

    I cooked them each separately since they are different thicknesses, I didn't want the strips to burn.....

    I liked the way they both turned out, so I decided to use both. Feel free to use all strips or all diced, there's no wrong way.

    I rolled out my Homemade Pizza Dough {you only need half of the recipe}.....

    My dough decided that it did not want to be round, it wanted to be an oval. 😉 Place the pizza on parchment paper, and brush the dough with 1 tablespoon of melted butter. Top with the cooked butternut squash and Parmesan cheese.....

    You may have  noticed the strips of sage on the uncooked pizza, well they just burn up in the oven so don't waste your time, LOL.

    Bake in a preheated 500 degree oven for 5 to 7 minutes, until golden brown.....

    Now top with the thinly sliced sage and additional cheese. 🙂

    You can serve this Butternut Squash and Sage Pizza as a main course or as an appetizer at your next fall party!

    Remember when I said that you only need half of the dough for this recipe? I made a Chocolate Hazelnut Pizza with the other half of the dough.....

    Gooey, chocolaty and delicious Chocolate Hazelnut Pizza is a fun and unexpected dessert that the whole family will love! cookingwithcurls.com

    A friend of mine made this pizza with thinly-sliced squash rounds and Basil Pesto. She loved the way it turned out, so you might want to give that a try as well. 🙂

    Enjoy!!
