I was finally able to overcome the strong urge to make my favorite pizza for the hundredth time (Grilled Chicken, Tomato and Pesto) and came up with a new delicious pizza and I’m so glad I did. This pizza combines my favorite flavors of fall … Butternut Squash and fresh Sage along with super healthy Kale. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
- Your favorite home-made pizza dough
- 1 small butternut squash,. cut into cubes
- 1-1/2 cups chopped kale
- 5 slices bacon
- 6 oz. Ricotta cheese
- 6 oz. mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 Cup Fresh Sage Chopped
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Peel and cut butternut squash into cubes (approximately 1-1/2 cups)
Cook bacon in pan until crisp and drain all but 2 tablespoons of drippings. Break bacon into bite size pieces and set aside.
Cook squash in bacon drippings until tender, approximately 15 minutes. Add Kale and saute 2 minutes.
Shape pizza dough and cover bottom with ricotta cheese then mozzarella cheese. Add butternut squash, bacon, kale and sage.
Bake approximately 22 minutes or until crust in beginning to brown.

This looks SO good!!! I have pizza dough in the fridge and a butternut squash sitting on my kitchen counter… this pizza might be in my near future. 🙂
Thanks! I liked the combination! I have another pizza I just made last evening that is my new favorite which I’ll be posting in the near future.
Great pizza combo. I have been getting some fantastic red winter kale from the organic farm I work at and it would be perfect for this recipe.
If you like butternut squash and kale (and who doesn’t love bacon?) I think you’d enjoy this pizza. I still am happy to have a lot of Kale in the garden. I have two different varieties I’m currently using them for my green smoothies in the morning.
