Butternut Squash Pizza



This was really delicious and different. I love butternut squash but I always run out of new ways to cook it. I used whole-wheat pizza dough from whole foods.

Butternut Squash Pizza
Adapted from Martha Stewart Living

1 cup very thinly sliced peeled, halved butternut squash
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
Coarse salt
1/4 cup finely ground yellow cornmeal
1 ball Pizza Dough
6 to 10 small or torn sage leaves
1 to 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
Hazelnuts, toasted and coarsely chopped

Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Drizzle squash with oil, and season with salt; toss.

Spread cornmeal on a baking sheet. Stretch dough into a 9 1/2-inch round; transfer to baking sheet. Drizzle dough with oil, and arrange squash on top, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Bake for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile toss sage with garlic, and drizzle with oil to coat. Sprinkle sage mixture over pizza. Bake until crust is golden brown and cooked through, 10 minutes more.

Sprinkle with hazelnuts and serve.

Serves 1 to 2.
