I love a good flatbread pizza. I’m not a fan of really thick crust so flatbreads are the best shortcut for mixing up quick pizzas. This flatbread starts with caramelizing onions and roasting some butternut squash. Then just layer them on your favorite flatbread with fresh mozzarella and sage leaves and bake. While it’s baking, mix up some arugula with some olive oil and balsamic and pile it on top of the slices and you’ve got yourself a seriously flavorful bite!

Recipe Tips and Suggestions:
- If you want to prep any of this recipe ahead of time, you can break down the butternut squash, cube, and roast it. You can also caramelize the onions and shred the cheese and store everything in the fridge until ready to assemble.
- To save time, you can likely find pre-cubed butternut squash in the produce section of your grocery store if you don’t want to have to deal with breaking a whole one down.
- If you prefer, you can swap out the mozzarella for more flavorful cheeses like fontina or gruyere cheese.
- This recipe is easy for weeknight meals or is also perfect for slicing into smaller pieces to serve as an appetizer for fall and holiday gatherings!
- If you want to add some meat to the pizza, you can add crumbled bacon, pancetta, prosciutto, or chicken.
- Feel free to play with additional toppings – shaved brussels, mushrooms, thyme or other herbs would also be delicious on this flatbread.
