Simple pizza recipe made with premade pizza dough, your favorite bbq sauce, mozzarella cheese, cilantro, red onion and delicata squash.
I’m excited to share with you this BBQ delicata pizza recipe.I love a good bbq chicken pizza but wondered if there could be a good vegetarian substitution. I had a forlorn delicata squash from the farmer’s market that I didn’t know what to do with and decided it could be the perfect star of my imaginary vegetarian bbq pizza. I was really happy with how this pizza turned out, and my whole family enjoyed it too. I used a premade pizza dough, a favorite bbq sauce for the sauce, mozzarella cheese, cilantro, red onion and delicata squash. The delicata squash was simple to prepare, I simply roasted with some olive oil and seasonings (coriander, my favorite spice as of late), and love that I didn’t even have to peel the squash. This pizza was a win-win, it was a quick and easy dinner and a way for my sad delicata squash to find meaning in life.

This looks excellent! It will also make a great addition to my menu when I am not in the mood for meat. And I love squash! I might even throw on some avacado at the end for an extra bit of freshness. Thank you for sharing this recipe!
