Pizza with pumpkin puree and mozzarella
Autumn pizza with pumpkin and sage

Roasted Pumpkin & Sage Pizza

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Dishes Main Courses
This pizza is an autumn gift from Northern Italy. The natural sweetness of pumpkin caramelizes during baking, pairing perfectly with salty cheeses (added here for a harmonic flavor profile). This isn't a dessert pizza, but a sophisticated, sweet-and-savory main course.

Instructions

1 ✓

Preheat oven to 430°F (220°C). Season the pumpkin puree with salt, pepper, and perhaps a pinch of nutmeg.

Tip: Pumpkin is sweet, so spices provide balance.
2 ✓

Roll out the dough and spread the puree like tomato sauce.

Tip: Spread a thin layer so the dough can bake through underneath.
3 ✓

Top with mozzarella and sage leaves.

Tip: Fat (cheese) is needed to absorb the carotenoids in pumpkin and carry the flavor.
4 ✓

Drizzle with oil and bake for 12-15 minutes until edges are golden.

Tip: Due to the sugar in pumpkin, the edges might brown faster (caramelization), so watch it closely!

Recipe FAQ

Why is my dough soggy?
Pumpkin puree has high water content. Use thick, roasted pumpkin puree, not watery canned filling.
How can I jazz it up?
A few drops of pumpkin seed oil at the end work wonders!
