    Perfect for a party or just a weeknight, these Mini Roasted Butternut Squash and Gorgonzola Pizzas are irresistible!

    Mini Roasted Butternut Squash and Gorgonzola Pizzas ... this amazing vegetarian pizza recipe is just as perfect for a party as it is for a busy weeknight! | Hello Little Home

    Pizza is one of those foods I could eat every night ... with leftovers for breakfast, of course.

    I've been eating a ton of butternut squash lately, and I love to pair it with Gorgonzola cheese.

    The sweet squash just works so well with the salty, creamy Gorgonzola. So, obviously, I had to combine the two on a pizza.

    My Mini Roasted Butternut Squash and Gorgonzola Pizzas turned out even more delicious than I imagined, so I had to share them with you!

    Mini Roasted Butternut Squash and Gorgonzola Pizzas

    These Mini Roasted Butternut Squash and Gorgonzola Pizzas are so amazingly tasty! The flavors - sweet, salty, tangy - work together so well that you'll be going back for seconds (or thirds).

    This recipe does take a few steps, but each step is very easy. You'll start by roasting the butternut squash and caramelizing the shallots. I love shallots, and you will, too. They're kind of a cross between onions and garlic.

    The roasted butternut squash and caramelized shallots are piled on top mini pizza crusts and topped off with crumbled Gorgonzola cheese. Finally, the pizzas are finished with crispy fried sage. If you've never had sage this way before, you are in for a treat! It's so good.

    Ingredients

    For Squash:

    • nonstick cooking spray
    • 4 cups cubed butternut squash

    • Add sage leaves to butter and cook until crisp, 1 to 2 minutes.
    • Remove leaves from pan and place on a paper towel lined plate. Sprinkle sage lightly with salt.
    • When pizzas are ready, remove from oven and top with sage leaves.
    • Serve immediately. Enjoy!

    Notes

    For one large pizza, spread dough on a large baking sheet or pizza pan. Top with shallots, squash, and Gorgonzola. Bake for 15 - 20 minutes or until crust is browned. Top pizza with crispy sage and serve.
