Pumpkin & Veggie Pizza

Method

1. Preheat oven to 205C and arrange a rack in the middle of the oven.
2. Place the cubed butternut pumpkin and peeled garlic cloves onto a lined baking tray. Drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper, tossing to coat.
3. Bake in the oven for 15-20 mins, or until the pumpkin is tender.
4. Transfer the pumpkin and garlic to a blender. Add 1 tbsp olive oil and the maple syrup, and purée until you have a creamy, smooth mixture. Note: add more oil or a drizzle of water if needed. Adjust seasonings, then set aside.
5. Heat a large pan over a medium heat. Once hot, add 1 tsp olive oil, broccolini, red onion, chickpeas, a pinch of salt and pepper, and the dried oregano. Sauté for 2-3 mins, stirring often, then set aside.
6. Increase oven heat to 215C, then place the pizza base onto a lined baking tray.
7. Top with 1 cup of the pumpkin sauce, then add the veggies and chickpeas on top. Sprinkle with a bit more oregano and parmesan cheese.
8. Transfer the pizza to the oven, and bake for 13-18 mins, or until the crust is a nice golden brown.
9. Once done, remove the pizza from the oven, slice and serve with extra parmesan cheese, and chilli flakes, if desired. Enjoy!
