    Roasted Pumpkin Flatbread Pizza

    Jump to Recipe

    Savory pumpkin is going to be your new favorite way to enjoy the season with this roasted pumpkin pizza. It is topped with fresh mozzarella, caramelized onions, and mixed greens to make for for a tasty and filling lunch or dinner. 

    Who says pumpkin has to be sweet? This roasted pumpkin pizza will convince you that savory is the best way to enjoy pumpkin

    It's the #virtualpumpkinparty and I am kind of a little late to the game, but I am finally here with this roasted pumpkin pizza on flatbread. You know, I am a huge fan of pumpkin if you've seen my pumpkin shrubs and pumpkin spice latte cupcakes, but I am also all about my pumpkin done savory like with this turkey pumpkin chili and now this pumpkin pizza.

    You've never had flatbread pizza like this before. this roasted pumpkin pizza will be all you want to lunch this fall season.

    If you are unsure of pumpkin being done savory, don't be. Pumpkin tastes a lot like butternut squash, and in fact, you can replace the pumpkin with butternut squash if you want to make this when pumpkins are not in season. While we are on the subject, you may know this already, but you cannot use a regular carving pumpkin to make this pumpkin pizza. Instead, you need to go for those labeled for cooking and baking. They may have names such as sugar pumpkins, pie pumpkins, Baby Pam, Autumn Gold, Ghost Rider, New England Pie Pumpkin, Lumina, Cinderella, and Fairy Tale.

    You will only ever want pumpkin done savory after you've tried this roasted pumpkin pizza.
