Roasted Butternut Squash Pizza

Seriously, I am obsessed with butternut squash. I really hope I haven't bored my readers to death, but I can't get enough. I've done a pasta and a risotto, so naturally I had to decorate a pizza with it! And man was this combo Out.Of.This.World! A little spice, a little sweet, and a whole lot of savory. So, if you can stand incorporating butternut squash into a meal, yet again, try this one.

Sorry for the camera phone shot, our fancy camera is at the doctor :(

Ingredients

GF pizza crust(s) of choice

2 cups cubed (1/2-inch), peeled butternut squash

1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg

1 TBSP olive oil

1 tsp red pepper flakes

1 onion, sliced thin

1/4 teaspoon salt, plus 1/4 teaspoon

1/2 cup crumbled Gorgonzola

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup arugula

Preparation Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Toss the squash with the cinnamon, nutmeg, olive oil, red pepper flakes, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper on a roasting pan and in a single layer. Roast until tender and golden, about 40 minutes.

Meanwhile, over medium heat, heat the butter in a pan. Add the onion and cook until soft and are caramelized, about 15 minutes.

Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese and the Gorgonzola on the pizza crusts. Followed by the caramelized onions and finally the roasted butternut squash. Cook pizza in oven according to package instructions.

Removed from the oven and top with arugula. Slice and serve.
