Appetizers For Thanksgiving Dinner 🍕 Pumpkin Pizza Recipe

mozzarella cheese

🥗Healthier: part-skim mozzarella

💰Cheaper: cheddar cheese

Part-skim mozzarella reduces fat while cheddar adds a sharp flavor.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast is a dairy-free alternative with a cheesy flavor.

pizza dough

🥗Healthier: whole wheat dough

💰Cheaper: store-bought dough

Whole wheat dough adds fiber, while store-bought saves time.

balsamic glaze

🥗Healthier: balsamic vinegar

💰Cheaper: honey

Balsamic vinegar is lower in calories, and honey adds sweetness.

Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C).

Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to desired thickness.

Spread pumpkin puree evenly over the rolled-out dough.

Drizzle olive oil over the pumpkin puree.

Sprinkle minced garlic, sage, nutmeg, black pepper, and salt over the top.

Add shredded mozzarella and grated parmesan cheese evenly.

Sprinkle red pepper flakes for heat, if desired.

Transfer the pizza to a baking sheet or pizza stone.

Bake in the preheated oven until the crust is golden and cheese is bubbly, about 12-15 minutes.

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.

Drizzle with balsamic glaze before slicing and serving.
