Whether its a late night indulgence, or an on the go breakfast — pizza is delicious. So if you’re looking for a way to eat pizza without the *indulgence factor*, give this recipe a try — it’s the perfect combination of autumn veggies!

INGREDIENTS

1 lb Whole Wheat Pizza Dough

2 cups Kale

1 cup Ricotta Cheese

¼ cup Onion [sliced]

¾ cup diced Butternut Squash

1/2 cup Pomegranate Seeds

¼ cup Balsamic Vinegar

1 tbsp Brown Sugar

2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil

2 tbsp Whole Wheat Flour

DIRECTIONS

#1] Preheat the oven to 350°F. Sprinkle the whole wheat flour on the cutting board + on top of the dough. Flatten the dough gently with fingertips until thin + circular [try to avoid thin spots]

#2] Place the dough onto a pizza tray [or cookie sheet] + make sure there is enough flour underneath so that it does not stick. Drizzle the olive oil onto the dough + top with kale ++ ricotta.

#3] In a medium skillet, add Butternut Squash, Onions, Balsamic Vinegar, and Brown sugar. Cook on medium heat until the onions + squash soften. Once softened, add to the top of the pizza.

#4] Bake for about 20 minutes until the crust is crispy + cheese begins to brown. Take the pizza out of the oven + you’re ready to cut + serve!
