A delicious and hearty pizza featuring roasted squash and aromatic herbs, perfect for any meal.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even roasting.
In a bowl, toss the diced squash with half the olive oil, half the salt, and half the sage leaves.
Coat the squash evenly for consistent roasting.
Spread the squash on a baking dish and roast for 40 minutes, stirring halfway through.
Stirring ensures even cooking and prevents sticking.
In a saucepan, heat the remaining olive oil and sauté the garlic until fragrant.
Be careful not to burn the garlic for a smooth flavor.
Add the diced tomatoes, oregano, and red pepper flakes to the saucepan, and simmer for 15 minutes.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Spread the tomato sauce over the pizza crust.
Spread evenly for consistent flavor in every bite.
Top the pizza with roasted squash, remaining sage leaves, and mozzarella cheese.
Distribute the toppings evenly for a balanced taste.
Bake the pizza at 400°F (200°C) until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 10 minutes.
Keep an eye on the pizza to avoid overcooking.
Slice and serve the pizza hot. Enjoy your meal!
