Thin-Crust Roasted Pumpkin Pizza with Arugula

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Dishes Main Courses Quick Meals
Tomato sauce isn't mandatory for pizza! The creaminess and sweetness of roasted pumpkin make a great 'sauce substitute'. Complemented by crispy crust, salty vegan cheese, and peppery arugula, it's a true autumn flavor bomb. Colorful, light, and surprisingly filling.

Allergen Information

⚠️ Wheat (Dough)
⚠️ Tree Nuts (check Vegan Cheese)

Instructions

1 ✓

Slice pumpkin very thinly (mandoline is best). Toss with little oil, salt, pepper.

Tip: If thick, it won't cook through on pizza. If thin, it caramelizes and softens.
2 ✓

Roll out pizza dough. Brush with garlic oil, sprinkle with oregano.

Tip: Oil layer protects dough from getting soggy.
3 ✓

Arrange pumpkin and pepper slices on top, then sprinkle with vegan cheese.

4 ✓

Bake at 400-425°F (200-220°C) (or as high as oven goes) for 12-15 minutes until crust browns.

Tip: High heat is needed for crispy crust.
5 ✓

Serve topped with fresh arugula.

Tip: Arugula bitterness balances pumpkin sweetness.

Recipe FAQ

Vegan cheese won't melt, what to do?
Plant cheeses melt harder. Drizzle little oil on them before baking, or cover pizza with foil for first 5 minutes to create steam.
