Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium-sized (peeled, seeded, and diced into 1/2-inch cubes) Butternut squash
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 10 leaves (chopped) Fresh sage leaves
- 1 medium-sized (thinly sliced) Yellow onion
- 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 2 pieces Preferred base (pizza crust, pita bread, or large tortilla)
- 1 cup (shredded) Mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup (grated) Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup Ricotta cheese (optional for burritos only)
- 1 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 cup Arugula (optional garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place the diced butternut squash on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Roast the squash in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until it’s caramelized and tender. Remove from the oven and set aside.
While the squash is roasting, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until caramelized. Add the minced garlic and chopped sage leaves, and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat.
To assemble the pizza or pita pizza: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place the pizza crust or pita bread on a baking sheet. Evenly spread the caramelized onion and sage mixture over the base, followed by the roasted squash, shredded mozzarella cheese, and grated Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle with crushed red pepper flakes if desired.
Bake the pizza or pita pizza in the oven for 8-10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh arugula before serving (optional).
To assemble the burrito: Warm the tortilla in a dry skillet over medium heat. Spread a layer of ricotta cheese down the center of the tortilla. Layer with roasted squash, caramelized onion and sage mixture, shredded mozzarella cheese, and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese. Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll tightly from the bottom to form a burrito.
Serve all variations warm. Enjoy your roasted squash and sage creation!
