Ingredients
- 1 pizza dough store-bought or homemade
- 2 cups butternut squash peeled and cubed
- 1 large onion thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 cup fresh sage leaves
- 1 cup cashew ricotta recipe below
- 1 tbsp balsamic glaze optional
For the Cashew Ricotta:
- 1 cup raw cashews soaked for at least 2 hours
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 garlic clove
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the Cashew Ricotta: Drain the soaked cashews and add them to a blender or food processor along with water, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and black pepper.
- Blend until smooth and creamy. Add more water if needed to reach a ricotta-like consistency. Set aside.
- Roast the Butternut Squash: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Toss the butternut squash cubes with 1 tbsp of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet.
- Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the squash is tender and lightly caramelized. Remove from the oven and set aside.
- Caramelize the Onions: While the squash is roasting, heat the remaining 1 tbsp of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are golden brown and caramelized, about 20-25 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Assemble the Pizza: Preheat your oven according to the pizza dough instructions (typically around 475°F or 245°C).
- Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness and transfer it to a pizza stone or baking sheet.
- Spread a generous layer of cashew ricotta over the pizza dough.
- Top with roasted butternut squash, caramelized onions, and fresh sage leaves.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and crispy.
- Finish and Serve: Remove the pizza from the oven and drizzle with balsamic glaze if using.
- Slice and serve immediately, enjoying the combination of seasonal flavors.
