Roasted Butternut Squash and Brussel Sprout Flatbread
This Roasted Butternut Squash and Brussel Sprout Flatbread is the perfect Fall (or winter!) inspired pizza for any night of the week! Homemade pizza dough topped with roasted butternut squash, roasted brussel sprouts, sautéed onions, applewood smoked bacon, and finished with crumbles of goat cheese. It really is the ultimate pizza!
They really weren’t kidding when they said necessity is the mother of invention because that is how I discovered this pizza.
I had some leftover pizza dough in the fridge, some roasted butternut squash, and some already chopped onion. I needed to use them up! So, in a desperate attempt not to waste anything, I came up with this pizza (or, flatbread).
It really was a game of what flavors will work well with this? The fridge is almost always stocked with goodies but this time… there were only leftovers.
So, off to work! I grabbed some brussel sprouts and roasted them in the oven with some olive oil, salt, and pepper. Sautéed the onions and cooked some bacon.
I was a little worried I wouldn’t have enough flavor in this pizza but – I used what I had!
Turns out, this pizza had an incredible amount of flavor! It was incredible and has basically become my new favorite pizza. I don’t always put the bacon on it just because sometimes I don’t want any meat.
So, if you’re looking for a vegetarian option, just leave off the bacon and this pizza is still just as good!
how to make roasted butternut squash and brussel sprouts flatbread
Quite easily! First, make your pizza dough.
While your pizza dough is rising, roast the butternut squash and the brussel sprouts.
Once everything has cooled, you can start on your pizza! Gather the ingredients to make sure you have everything.
Now, on a heavily floured surface, stretch the crust out with your hands to about an 1/4 inch thick. You can also use a rolling pin if you want a smoother looking dough.
Pour 2 Tablespoons of olive oil over the crust and spread it. Top with grated parmesan cheese.
Add the butternut squash and brussel sprouts next! Sprinkle onions and bacon on top.
Place in the oven and bake for about 5-10 minutes, or until crust is golden brown. Take out of the oven and top with goat cheese. Slice and serve!
can you freeze flatbread
This is sort of a yes and no question. You can freeze the baked crust but you can’t freeze it once the toppings are added. If you want to keep your flatbread, wrap it in foil and place it in the fridge. It’ll last for a few days.

Nutritional information is only an estimate. The accuracy of the nutritional information for any recipe on this site is not guaranteed.
You do not say how long to let the dough rise and whether to put it in a bowl covered with a cloth, nor do you advise how to rost the veggies. I have roasted butternut squasj in different ways, as well as brussel sprouts whichi have cut in half, cut side down, placed on an oiled cookie sheet and roasted. You have also failed to print at what temperature vegetables should be roasted.
