Mashed butternut squash forms the base of this pizza crust. It’s much healthier than regular pizza dough and adds a nice, sweet flavor to this slightly spicy pie. The crust can be made 1 to 2 days ahead and reheated in the oven. For crisper results, bake the pizza crust in a preheated cast-iron skillet that’s coated with cooking spray. Or bake on a baking stone coated with cooking spray. Bulk out this pizza with more veggies by topping it with fresh arugula just before serving. You can also top it with roasted, chopped eggplant, onion, or other vegetables of your choice.
