    I make homemade pizzas every Friday night for my family.  Sometimes I make my own dough using this recipe Knead to Cook and sometimes I buy my dough at Trader Joe's, a pizza restaurant or a grocery store.

    This butternut squash pizza is easy to make, simple and delicious. I mean, come on people....this pizza has caramelized onions, cranberries and creamy burrata cheese!!

    If you are looking for other pizza recipes, you will love this Baby Boy Choy Mushroom Pizza, Kale Bacon Manchego Pizza, Grilled Spinach and Kale Goat Cheese Pizza and this Roasted Tomato Basil Pizza. If you'd like a recipe that's low carb then this Greek Vegetable Pizza is for you!

    Why You Should Make This Butternut Squash Pizza

    There's never any judgement for simplifying your life. Especially when you work and have kids, go ahead and make your life easier.

    That's where this store-bought naan bread comes in very handy. I bought this 100% whole wheat naan bread at Whole Foods, but I am sure they are in most grocery stores.

    You can easily customize this however you'd like. Use whatever cheese you'd like, although the burrata really is creamy and delicious.

    And there's butternut squash and mushrooms in there too, so it's healthy, right?

    This butternut squash pizza will be ready in under 30 minutes and is always a crowd pleaser.

    Recipe Ingredients for This Butternut Squash Pizza

    • Naan flatbreads - Like I mentioned above, you can either make your own naan bread or buy it from the store. Either way, naan has a wonderful, light texture that is perfect for this pizza crust.
    • Mushrooms - I used already sliced mushrooms for this recipe. Make sure they are rinsed by taking a damp cloth and wiping off and then patted dry.
    • Burrata cheese - If you haven't tried Burrata yet, it's basically a soft and creamy Mozzarella cheese. It's gooey and delicious.
    • Cranberries - I usually buy these dried cranberries which have no added sugars, but they can be quite pricey. I love this recipe from All Day I Dream About Food where Carolyn shows us how to make our own dried cranberries at home with no added sugars!

    Recipe FAQ's and Expert Tips

    Can this butternut squash pizza be made vegan by leaving off the cheese?

    Absolutely. This recipe is so hearty and flavorful even without the cheese.

    How can I store leftovers?

    Place any leftovers in an airtight container or you can wrap with parchment paper and place in a plastic bag in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. This butternut squash pizza tastes best if reheated in the oven by placing on a baking sheet and baking for 10-15 minutes at 350 degrees F.

    Can I use another cheese in this pizza recipe?

    Although I haven't tried any other cheese in here besides burrata and mozzarella, I bet a hard cheese like Manchego, Cheddar and Asiago would be yummy in this pizza.

      So cozy and easy to whip up. The squash and onions get all sweet and caramelized, and when you add creamy burrata on top, it's Amazing! Seriously, it looks fancy, but I promise, it's the simplest, yummiest thing ever!

      Such an awesome and healthy pizza option. I love the combination of flavors with the butternut squash and the onion and burrata. And I have always been a fan of flatbread pizza.

      This is one of my all time favs! I have this recipe printed out to make sure I don’t forget to buy an
      ingredient…especially FRESH sage!

      I am making this today and cannot wait to cut up the butternut squash and get it started.

      It’s still very early, but just thinking about this delicious flatbread has me so hungry!

      It all goes together incredibly well and just tastes like autumn, though I make it year-round. And as a vegan, I just use vegan mozzarella…easy!!

        I don’t know how long I’ve been making this, but it’s one of my TOP favorite recipes. I quickly put it together tonight, sans the onions and mushrooms (they were missed!!) because was craving it. It was still delicious! Best part is that since, I’m vegan I still have plenty of “cheese” options. Thanks for this one, Lauren!
