Ingredients
  

  • ½ medium butternut squash peeled, seeded, quartered, thinly sliced to ~⅛ inch or less
  • 4 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • ½ lb pizza dough
  • 4-6 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 oz pancetta
  • 2 cups chopped kale stem removed
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 4 oz burrata torn into multiple pieces
  • 1 cup asiago shredded
  • Salt
  • Red pepper flakes optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400 F.
  • Toss butternut squash with ½ tablespoon of olive oil until lightly coated. Add salt and red pepper flakes (optional) to taste, and mix until evenly distributed.
  • Spread butternut squash in a single layer on a parchment paper lined baking sheet and place in oven. Bake until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Remove from oven. Once the butternut squash is done, set oven to 475 F (or, if using store bought pizza dough, follow those instructions on heat).
  • While butternut squash is baking, cook the pancetta on a pan on medium heat until crisp. Then, remove from heat.
  • Roll out pizza dough on floured surface to desired thickness. Move to a parchment paper lined baking sheet or pizza pan.
  • Coat pizza dough with 2 tablespoon olive oil, including the crust area. Then, spread garlic evenly over pizza dough, excluding crust.
  • Toss kale with ½ tablespoon olive oil until all of the kale is lightly coated, then mix in garlic powder.
  • Layer the kale, butternut squash, and pancetta onto the pizza. Top with burrata and asiago cheese
  • Bake until crust is golden brown, about 8-10 minutes (varies based on type of crust used/thickness).
  • Remove from oven, sprinkle with more red pepper flakes if desired, slice, and serve!
