Ingredients

Please note: This recipe is not exact amounts so use your own judgement on quantity depending on how many people you’re serving!

1 pre-made pizza crust or lavash - Iike Atoria’s Whole Grain and Flax Lavash

Balsamic glaze - it’s in the vinegar section of your local grocer

Butternut squash, diced medium and roasted until tender - I tossed mine with maple syrup, dried sage, and fresh ground black pepper before roasting

Red onion, microwaved or sauteed until tender

Cheesey sauce - I used a small amount of this Dairy-Free Cheese Spread with added water to thin it down a bit, you want to be able to drizzle it

Walnuts, chopped or course ground and toasted

Chopped greens to garnish - whatever you have on hand

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. If you have a pizza stone, throw that in and preheat that too!

2. If you’re not using up butternut squash you’ve already roasted, toss the raw diced squash with a little maple syrup along with fresh ground black pepper and roast for 20-30 minutes until tender. Also prepare the red onion and walnuts if you haven’t already done so.

3. If you’re going to bake on a pizza stone, place the lavash or pizza crust on a cutting board that doesn’t have an edge on it, you want to be able to slide the pizza onto the baking stone. For those not using a pizza stone, place the lavash or pizza crust on a cookie sheet.

4. Smear crust with a layer of balsamic glaze. Layer on red onion, butternut squash and walnuts.

5. Bake for 10-20 minutes, checking for desired crispiness after 10 minutes.

6. Remove from the oven and drizzle on cheezy sauce and garnish with chopped greens.
