Ingredients

Scale

For the Naan Pizza Base

  • 4 pieces Naan breads, perfectly crispy and fluffy

For the Toppings

  • 1 cup Canned pumpkin puree (can use fresh puree for added freshness)
  • 1 pound Ground sausage (pork, turkey, chicken, or plant-based for vegetarian option)
  • 1 cup Caramelized shallots (substitute with onions if necessary)
  • 1 teaspoon Dried oregano (can be replaced with Italian seasoning)

For the Cheesy Goodness

  • 1 cup Fontina cheese (grated, greatly complements the other ingredients)
  • 1 cup Whole-milk ricotta cheese (can substitute with cream cheese or mascarpone)

For the Fresh Finish

  • 1 tablespoon Fresh sage leaves (can substitute with thyme or rosemary)
  • 2 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil (neutral oil can be used as a substitute)
  • 2 tablespoons Hot honey (for a spicy-sweet kick)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for baking the pizzas. This ensures the oven is hot enough to create a crisp, golden crust.
  2. Sauté Shallots: In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil. Add thinly sliced shallots and cook for about 4-5 minutes until they are soft and caramelized, developing a sweet depth of flavor.
  3. Cook the Sausage: Add the ground sausage to the skillet with the shallots. Cook for 6-7 minutes, stirring and breaking up the meat until completely browned and cooked through. Remove from heat.
  4. Prepare the Naan Base: Place the naan breads on a large baking sheet in a single layer. Spread an even layer of pumpkin puree on each naan, then sprinkle with dried oregano to add an aromatic touch.
  5. Add Cheese and Toppings: Sprinkle the shredded Fontina cheese evenly over the pumpkin puree, then distribute the cooked sausage and caramelized shallots on top. Add small dollops of ricotta cheese across each naan for creamy bursts.
  6. Add Fresh Herbs and Oil: Drizzle the olive oil over fresh sage leaves and scatter these aromatic leaves atop the pizzas to infuse fresh herbal notes during baking.
  7. Bake the Pizzas: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the edges of the naan are golden and crispy.
  8. Drizzle with Hot Honey: Remove the pizzas from the oven and immediately drizzle hot honey over the top for a delightful spicy-sweet finish before serving.

Notes

  • Customize toppings as desired to suit your taste preferences.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For best results, reheat leftovers in the oven to maintain crispiness.
