Roasted Butternut Squash Hummus Pita Pizzas
with balsamic zucchini

Active: 40 Total: 40

The unique combination of roasted butternut squash and hummus on these pizzas that were last featured in February 2017 always gets great reviews from our community. We wanted to keep the prep even shorter this time, so we're using pita / flatbread instead of pizza dough.

Make

  1. Heat oven to 425F / 218C degrees.

  2. Spread pita / flatbread out in a single layer on a sheet pan.

  3. Transfer sheet pan to the oven and toast pita for 3 minutes to start them cooking (this initial time in the oven gets the flatbreads a little crisp; if you put toppings on first, the bread may get soggy).

  4. Remove pita from the oven and top with hummus, mozzarella, shallots, and squash. Return to oven and continue cooking until cheese is bubbly and flatbreads are golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes.

  5. While pizzas cook, heat a skillet with cooking oil over medium-high heat. Add zucchini with some salt and saute until tender and golden brown, 4 to 6 minutes. Add garlic, Italian seasoning, and balsamic vinegar (portion for the zucchini) and cook for 1 minute more.

  6. Enjoy pizzas with zucchini on the side.
