Best 3 Butternut Cranberry Sauce Pizza Recipes

SQUASH AND RICOTTA PIZZA

Steps:

• In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and a pinch of salt and cook, stirring often, until browned and caramelized, 30 to 40 minutes. Stir in the sage and cook for 2 more minutes.
• Meanwhile, put a pizza stone in the lowest position in the oven and preheat the oven to 500 degrees F. (If you don't have a pizza stone, you can use a baking sheet.)
• On a piece of parchment on a pizza peel or the back of a baking sheet, flatten out half the dough into a 10-inch round. Top with half of the ricotta, half of the Parmesan, a good pinch of salt and few turns of pepper, half of the onion and half of the squash shavings. Brush the squash with a thin even layer of olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Slide the pizza onto the pizza stone (or heated baking sheet) and bake until the crust and squash are lightly browned, about 8 minutes. Repeat with the rest of the toppings on the other half of the dough.
• While the pizza is baking, toss the arugula with the lemon juice, a pinch of salt and a few turns of pepper.
• Top the pizzas with the arugula salad, additional Parmesan shavings and a sprinkle of crushed red pepper.

VEGAN PIZZA WITH APPLE, BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND CARAMELIZED ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Make the garlic white bean purée by blending the beans, oil, lemon juice, garlic, thyme, salt and pepper in a food processor. Add water, as needed, until a smooth consistency forms. Set aside. Can be made two days in advance.
• In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-low heat and sauté onions until soft and lightly caramelized, about 15 minutes. Season generously with salt and pepper.
• While the onions are cooking, toss remaining 2 tablespoons oil with squash and season generously with salt and pepper. Transfer to a large-rimmed baking sheet and roast for 30 to 35 minutes until squash is fork-tender, turning once or twice with a spatula. Remove from oven and set aside. Turn heat up to 450 degrees.
• Prepare pizza. Brush a large-rimmed baking sheet (approximately 9 by 13 inches) with oil. Stretch homemade or store-bought pizza dough into a rectangle and fit it into the prepared baking sheet (You can also use a 14-inch or 16-inch round pizza pan if you have one). Spread a layer of the garlic white bean purée evenly over the rolled-out dough. (You may not want to use all of it.) On top of the dough, arrange the spinach, caramelized onions, roasted butternut squash and apple slices. Season with salt and pepper, and brush the edges of the crust with olive oil.
• Bake at 450 degrees for about 15 to 20 minutes, rotating midway, until the crust is slightly browned or golden. Let cool, slice and serve.
