Ingredients

• 2 cups Butternut squash, peeled and cubed
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 Yellow onion, thinly sliced
• 10 Fresh sage leaves
• 4 ounces Goat cheese, crumbled
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup Fresh arugula
• 2 tablespoons Balsamic glaze
• 1 pound Prepared pizza dough
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour (for rolling dough)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Place the butternut squash cubes on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.

Step 3

Roast the butternut squash for 20 minutes or until tender and lightly caramelized, then set aside.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until caramelized (about 15 minutes). Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 5

In a small skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Fry the sage leaves for about 30 seconds per side until crispy. Drain on a paper towel and set aside.

Step 6

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Alternatively, you can use a grill pan on the stovetop.

Step 7

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Carefully transfer the dough to the hot grill. Close the lid and grill for 2-3 minutes or until the bottom is firm and has grill marks.

Step 8

Flip the dough over and immediately reduce the heat to medium. Sprinkle the grilled side with mozzarella cheese, crumbled goat cheese, roasted butternut squash, and caramelized onions. Close the lid and grill for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the bottom is crisp.

Step 9

Remove the pizza from the grill and top with fresh arugula and crispy sage leaves. Drizzle with balsamic glaze.

Step 10

Slice and serve immediately, enjoying the mix of smoky, sweet, and savory autumnal flavors.
