Ingredients

Pizza

  • 200g peeled pumpkin
  • 70g tomato paste
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 2 pizza bases
  • 1½ cups grated cheese
  • 200g minced bacon
  • ¼ cup cream cheese
  • ¼ red onion (optional, adults)

Salad

  • 1 tomato
  • ½ telegraph cucumber
  • 1 iceberg lettuce
  • Drizzle of balsamic vinegar

  2. In a bowl mix tomato paste and oil and evenly spread over each pizza base.
  3. Sprinkle over cheese and scatter over bacon. Using a teaspoon, scoop 1cm chunks of cream cheese and evenly place over pizzas. Thinly slice onion and scatter on top (if using). Scatter over roasted pumpkin and season.
  4. Place pizzas onto preheated tray and tray used to roast pumpkin. Cook pizzas for 12-14 minutes, until the bases are crisp and golden around the edges. Swap positioning of trays around halfway through cooking. Season.
