Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 package (12 pieces) mini naan bread or English muffins, halved
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup sliced black olives (optional)
- 1/4 cup diced red bell peppers (optional, for pumpkin face decorations)
- Fresh basil leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Pumpkin Sauce: In a bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth and well combined. This will serve as the flavorful base for your mini pizzas.
- Assemble Pizzas: Place the mini naan or English muffin halves on the prepared baking sheet. Spread a generous layer of the pumpkin sauce over each base.
- Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the pumpkin sauce.
- Decorate (Optional): If desired, use black olives and red bell peppers to create pumpkin faces or other fun designs for a festive touch.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the naan or muffin halves are golden.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with fresh basil leaves, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy these festive and delicious mini pumpkin pizzas!
Notes
- Topping Variations: Feel free to get creative with toppings! Try adding cooked sausage, spinach, or mushrooms for a heartier pizza.
- Make Ahead: The pumpkin sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge for up to 2 days.
- Cheese Alternatives: You can use other cheeses like provolone or cheddar if mozzarella is not available.
- Gluten-Free: Use gluten-free naan or English muffins to make this recipe gluten-free.
- Storage: Leftover pizzas can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven to maintain the crispiness of the base.
