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)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Reduce oven temperature to 400°F (205°C).
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Arrange the roasted butternut squash cubes and sliced fresh mozzarella evenly over the pesto layer.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Remove the flatbreads from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes. Top with fresh arugula and drizzle with balsamic glaze if desired.
Step 9
Slice into wedges and serve warm. Enjoy your Butternut Squash Pesto Pizza Flatbread!
