Ingredients
 

  • 1 pack Pizza dough, homemade or store-bought, pref. plain/unflavored
  • 2 cups butternut squash, peeled and cut into thin slices about 1 inch in length
  • 1 Tablespoon pesto, or to taste
  • 1 1/2 cups (up to 2 cups) mozarella cheese, shredded
  • 1/4 cup crumbled Feta cheese, optional
  • 1 Olive oil, or to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350F. Place the butternut squash slices in a baking tray. Toss with a little olive oil until coated. You may lightly season it with salt and pepper, but that's entirely up to you. Roast the squash for about 12-15 minutes or until it is tender. Remove from the oven and set aside.
  • Adjust the oven temperature as stated in the pizza manufacturer's instructions (usually between 400F-450F).
  • In the meantime, prepare the pizza dough by spreading the pesto all over it.
  • Sprinkle the cheese/s on top, leaving about a 1-inch border.
  • Top with the roasted butternut squash.
  • Cook according to the pizza manufacturer's instructions or just until the cheese is melted and the top is nicely browned.
  • Enjoy with some salad on the side. Perfect for lunch or a light dinner.
