Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups (cubed) Butternut squash
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 Flatbreads (store-bought or homemade)
- 0.5 cups Pesto
- 6 ounces (sliced) Fresh mozzarella
- 0.25 cups (grated) Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup Arugula
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic glaze (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the cubed butternut squash on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Roast the butternut squash in the oven for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and lightly caramelized. Remove from the oven and set aside.
Reduce oven temperature to 400°F (205°C).
Place the flatbreads on another baking sheet or pizza stone. Spread an even layer of pesto over each flatbread, leaving a small border around the edges.
Arrange the roasted butternut squash cubes and sliced fresh mozzarella evenly over the pesto layer.
Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top, then bake the flatbreads in the oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the mozzarella is melted and bubbly.
Remove the flatbreads from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes. Top with fresh arugula and drizzle with balsamic glaze if desired.
Slice into wedges and serve warm. Enjoy your Butternut Squash Pesto Pizza Flatbread!
