Ingredients

• 1 ball (approximately 12-inch size) Pizza dough
• 200 grams (cubed) Pumpkin
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 2 cups Baby spinach
• 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
• 1 cup (shredded) Mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup (crumbled) Feta cheese
• 0.5 cup Tomato sauce
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 6 leaves (optional, for garnish) Fresh basil leaves

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a bowl, toss the cubed pumpkin with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, black pepper, and ground cumin. Spread the pumpkin evenly on the baking sheet and roast for 15-20 minutes or until tender and slightly caramelized. Remove from the oven and set aside.

Step 3

Increase the oven temperature to 220°C (425°F) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to preheat.

Step 4

In a pan, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the minced garlic for 1 minute, then add the baby spinach. Cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 5

Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the pizza dough to a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to a piece of parchment paper for easy handling.

Step 6

Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 7

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the tomato sauce, followed by the roasted pumpkin, sautéed spinach, and crumbled feta cheese.

Step 8

Sprinkle dried oregano over the top for added flavor.

Step 9

Carefully transfer the pizza (with the parchment paper) onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.

Step 10

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly. Garnish with fresh basil leaves, if desired.

Step 11

Slice and serve your Pumpkin and Spinach Pizza while warm. Enjoy!
