Ingredients
- 1 (1- pound) acorn squash
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/4 teaspoon salt, plus 1/4 teaspoon
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus 1/4 teaspoon
- 1 pound pizza dough
- 1 cup shredded whole milk mozzarella
- 1/2 cup crumbled Gorgonzola
- 1 cup arugula
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Slice the squash in half from top to bottom. Scoop out the seeds. Slice the squash into 1/2 to 3/4-inch wide half moons and place in a medium bowl. Toss the squash with the syrup, olive oil, red pepper flakes, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Place the squash on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake the squash until tender and golden, about 20 to 25 minutes.
Keep the temperature on the oven at 375 degrees F. Roll out the pizza dough on a flour dusted piece of parchment paper to a 13-inch diameter. Place the pizza and the parchment paper on a baking sheet. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese and the Gorgonzola on the pizza dough. Bake in the oven until golden and cooked through, about 25 to 30 minutes.
Peel the skins off the squash. Top the cooked pizza with the cooked squash. Top with arugula and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper. Slice and serve.

This was the first pizza I ever made, and it was great. The roasted acorn squash really brings this home. My pizza was not a circle but more rectangle to fit on the baking sheet. Will make this often.

I was skeptical but this pizza was excellent. We have made it a few times and everyone always loves it!

This was sooo amazing!!! i followed the recipe exactly and it came out great! i left the acorn squash in chunky pieces and my crust was pretty thin, and it all came out great! i didn't have any arugula, so i used spinach instead. The second time i made this i added more pepper flakes and added a tablespoon of curry powder, and a tablespoon of chopped garlic and sauteed onions w/sundried tomatoes. it was so good!
