Instructions
Butternut Squash Sauce
- Heat oil in medium pan with lid over medium-high. Add butternut squash and onions and sauté until just beginning to brown, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to low and cover; cook until butternut squash can be easily pierced with fork, about 20 minutes. Transfer ingredients to food processor and process for 1 – 2 minutes or until smooth.
Other Ingredients
- Toss kale with oil and salt until well-coated.
Assembly
- To assemble pizza, prebake whatever pizza dough recipe you’re using for 5 minutes, then remove from oven. Top with a thin layer of butternut squash sauce and a sprinkling of cheese. Then top with kale, fresh herbs, and a generous sprinkle of almonds. Return to oven for 5 more minutes, or until kale is crispy at the edges and almonds are just beginning to turn golden brown. Makes enough toppings for 4 personal sized pizzas.
