Pizzas are best served crispy, just keep an eye on them so they don’t burn.
Ingredients
PUMPKIN AND CARAMELISED ONION PIZZA
- 250g peeled pumpkin, diced 1cm
- 1 red onion, sliced in half then thinly sliced
- ½ teaspoon sugar
- ½ teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- 1½ teaspoons water
- 2 pizza bases
- 4 tablespoons pizza sauce
- 1 cup grated mozzarella cheese
- 50g roughly chopped baby spinach leaves
- 100g feta cheese
ORANGE SPINACH SALAD
- 50g baby spinach leaves
- 2 oranges
- 2 tablespoons roughly chopped basil leaves
Steps
-
oven to 220°C. Line an oven tray with baking paper. Preheat one oven tray (or pizza stone if you have one).
-
Toss pumpkin with a drizzle of oil on lined tray. Season and roast for 15 minutes. Remove pumpkin and paper from tray and return empty tray to oven. Heat a drizzle of oil in a pot on high heat. Cook onion for 5–7 minutes. Add sugar, vinegar and water and cook for 1–2 minutes until caramelised.
-
Lay two sheets of baking paper on bench and place pizza bases on top. Divide pizza sauce between bases and spread to cover.
-
Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly over bases, then top with first measure of spinach, caramelised onions and roasted pumpkin. Crumble over feta cheese and season with salt and pepper.
-
Carefully lift up baking paper with pizzas on top, place on preheated trays (or stones) then carefully slide baking paper away (use a fish slice to help with this). Cook pizzas until the base is crisp and golden around the edges, about 12 minutes. Swap trays halfway to ensure even cooking.
-
While pizzas are cooking, prepare salad. Roughly chop remaining spinach leaves; remove skin off oranges using a knife and cut into segments (reserve juice). Place both in a bowl, drizzle with a little extra-virgin olive oil and squeeze over reserved orange juice. Sprinkle over basil.
-
Slice each pizza into 6–8 pieces and divide between plates. Serve orange, spinach and basil salad on the side.
