I've seen recipes for pizza using butternut squash but I had a different idea. An Indian style type of pizza. In my mind anyway. I love Naan. I love squash. I love curry. This would make a great appetizer pizza!
Curried Butternut Squash Naan Pizza
from HoneyB's Kitchen
1 small butternut squash, diced
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 tablespoons Made with Love Garden Curry Spice Blend
2 naan bread (I buy mine at Super Wal-mart. Haven't perfected making it myself yet)
1 medium onion, sliced thin
½ tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon brown sugar
pinch (or 2) of cayenne pepper
½ cup Havarti Cheese, shredded or broken off into pieces (not super easy to shred as it is a softer cheese)
Mix squash oil and curry spice blend and roast at 400 degrees until tender. While squash is roasting, caramelize onions with butter. Add sugar and spice at end of their cooking.
Sprinkle on Naan bread a small amount of cheese. Top with onions, squash and remaining cheese. Bake 12 minutes (400 degree oven) or until cheese is melted and crust starts to brown. slightly.

This pizza looks delicious, Shelby! I've never thought to combine those flavors for a pizza before, so I can't wait to try this recipe out!
Also, a little tip for grating softer cheeses -- put the cheese in the freezer for 5-10 minutes before you go and grate. Having the cheese super cold will make grating a lot easier. 🙂

This does sound so very very good. I'm really getting into squash this season and what a delicious way to kick it up.
