Roasted Butternut-Squash and Red-Pepper Pizza  

Butternut-squash may not be the first vegetable that comes to mind when deciding to have pizza, but after tasting this one, it may be on the tip of your tongue quite often.
 
 

 

INGREDIENTS

Topping:
1 (1 3/4 to 2 pounds) butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 teaspoon sunflower oil
  Salt and freshly cracked pepper
 
Sauce:
1 1/2 cups whole milk
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg
 
Pizza:
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
  Pizza dough (use fresh or refrigerated rolled pizza dough)
1 cup grated Asiago cheese
2 large red bell peppers, roasted and cut julienne
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
2 large cloves garlic, minced
  Sprigs of rosemary for garnish
 



METHOD

Preheat the oven to 450°. In a large bowl, toss the squash with the oil and salt and pepper. Place squash in a baking dish coated with DuPont SilverStone® non-stick and roast for about 15 minutes, turning once and baking for another 15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the dish and set aside.

In a medium saucepan coated with DuPont SilverStone® non-stick, over medium heat, stir together the milk and the flour until well incorporated. Add the nutmeg and cook for another 2 minutes. Add salt to taste. Raise the oven temperature to 500°.

Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of the cornmeal onto a work surface. Roll out the dough into a 12-inch round pizza and transfer to a baking sheet coated with DuPont SilverStone® non-stick.

Spread the sauce overtop of the pizza, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edge. Sprinkle with the cheese, squash, peppers, rosemary, and garlic. Season with black pepper to taste. Bake the pizza for 15 minutes or until the crusts are crisp and golden. Garnish with sprigs of rosemary and serve.
