This Autumn Harvest Pizza is fall on a slice—earthy roasted squash, crispy kale, and sweet caramelized onions layered over bubbly cheese and golden crust. It’s a seasonal vegetarian masterpiece that’s hearty, colorful, and perfect for cozy weeknights or a unique holiday appetizer.
I first made this pizza after a farmers market haul bursting with butternut squash and deep green kale. It quickly became a tradition in our kitchen once autumn rolls in. The sweet, tender squash perfectly balances the lightly bitter kale and savory caramelized onions, all tied together by gooey mozzarella and your favorite crust.
You can use homemade or store-bought dough depending on your time and mood. Finish it off with a sprinkle of goat cheese or a drizzle of balsamic glaze to really elevate each bite.
Whether you’re hosting a fall dinner party or simply craving something comforting, this harvest pizza is a flavorful way to celebrate the season’s best ingredients.
