Butternut Squash Pizza Crust Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Use a small paring knife to puncture the spaghetti squash a few times all over. Place on a baking sheet and bake until tender, about 1 hour. Let cool until cool enough to handle, then use a large knife to slice the squash open lengthwise. Scrape out the seeds with a fork and discard. Continue to use the fork to pull the flesh from its peel. (Leave the oven on.)
• Wrap the squash in a clean dishtowel and squeeze out all the excess water. (There will be quite a bit of water in the squash. It is important to squeeze out as much as you can so that the crust will have a better texture.)
• Whisk the eggs together with the shredded mozzarella and garlic salt in a large mixing bowl. Stir in the spaghetti squash until well combined.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Transfer the squash to the center of the baking sheet and spread into a 10-inch circle. Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
• Spread the pizza sauce on the crust and top with the desired toppings. Bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly, an additional 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Cut squash in half lengthwise and remove seeds. Prick rind with a fork. Place cut side down in a baking dish and add 1/4 inch water. Microwave squash on high 10 minutes, checking for doneness. (To bake: Preheat oven to 350°F. Place cut side down on a baking sheet. Bake until soft, about 1 hour.) Remove and cool. Scoop out flesh and place in a medium-sized bowl. Mix with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Heat oil in a medium-sized pot over medium heat and sauté onions until light brown. Remove from heat and cool. Season with salt. In a separate bowl, mix cheeses. Make crust. While second side of each crust is grilling, spread 1/8 cheese mixture over cooked side of each crust and top with onions. Top with dollops of squash; sprinkle with parsley. Rotate 3 to 4 minutes until bottom is golden brown.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Place sliced onion and squash in a roasting pan. Sprinkle with rosemary, salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil; toss to coat.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until onions are lightly browned and squash is tender; set aside.
• Increase oven temperature to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). On a floured surface, roll each ball of dough into an 8 inch round. Place the rounds on a baking sheet sprinkled with cornmeal (you may need 2 baking sheets depending on their size). Distribute squash mixture over the two rounds and continue baking for 10 minutes, checking occasionally, or until the crust is firm. Sprinkle with cheese and remaining tablespoon olive oil. Cut into quarters, and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place sliced onion and squash in a roasting pan. Sprinkle with some rosemary, salt, pepper, and olive oil; toss to coat.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until onions are lightly browned and squash is tender; set aside.
• Reduce oven heat to 350 degrees F.
• You can leave the squash as soft slices OR mash with a fork, making sure to get the garlic in there too.
• Spread the squash mixture on the crust. Top with the onions, rosemary leaves, parmesan cheese, and salt and pepper to taste.
• Bake in oven until warm, about 10-12 minute.
• Slice and enjoy!
