Pizza with Roasted Delicata Squash, Apples, Sage Walnut Pesto, and Smoked Mozzarella


Sounds long and complicated, and it kind of is, but totally worth it.
Start with your favorite pizza dough

Make the Pesto:
1 cup parsley
3-4 tablespoons fresh sage
3 garlic cloves
process these, then add
1/2 cup olive oul
1/2 cup toasted walnuts
(makes enough for two pizzas (smallish))

Roast the squash (1 small delicata per pizza)
Peel the squash, take out the seeds, and slice into crescents. Coat with oil, season with salt and pepper, and roast in a 400 degree oven until tender (~20 min)

Saute the onion, apple (1/2-1 onion per pizza, 1 apple per pizza)
Slice the onion and saute until soft, add the sliced apple and cook a bit longer (depends on your taste!)

Roll out your dough, spread on the pesto, place the squash and apples and onion, sprinkle with the smoked mozzarella. Then bake @500 for 7-10 minutes!!!
