Butternut Squash Pizza

This vibrant butternut squash pizza offers a sophisticated twist on a vegetarian classic. By combining the natural sweetness of roasted squash with deeply caramelised onions and a blend of nutty fontina and Romano cheeses, you create a deeply satisfying flavour profile. It is an excellent way to use seasonal autumn produce, providing a colourful and nutritious alternative to traditional tomato-based toppings. The addition of fresh parsley brings a hit of brightness that cuts through the rich, melted cheese.

Perfect for a relaxed weekend dinner or a garden gathering, this recipe utilises a grilled crust for a smoky, crisp finish. If you are looking for a lighter meal that does not compromise on indulgence, the use of reduced-fat cheeses ensures a velvety texture while keeping the dish heart-healthy. Serve it alongside a crisp green salad for a complete, homemade vegetarian feast that feels truly special.

How to make Butternut Squash Pizza

Cut squash in half lengthwise and remove seeds. Prick rind with a fork. Place cut side down in a baking dish and add 1/4 inch water. Microwave squash on high 10 minutes, checking for doneness. (To bake: Preheat oven to 177°C. Place cut side down on a baking sheet. Bake until soft, about 1 hour.) Remove and cool. Scoop out flesh and place in a medium-sized bowl. Mix with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Heat oil in a medium-sized pot over medium heat and sauté onions until light brown. Remove from heat and cool. Season with salt. In a separate bowl, mix cheeses. Make crust. While second side of each crust is grilling, spread 1/8 cheese mixture over cooked side of each crust and top with onions. Top with dollops of squash; sprinkle with parsley. Rotate 3 to 4 minutes until bottom is golden brown.
