Equipment

  • Large rimmed baking sheet
  • Large skillet

Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 3/4 cup thinly sliced shallots
  • 8 ounces mild or spicy ground sausage (pork, turkey, or chicken)
  • 4 Naan breads
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • A few pinches dried oregano
  • 4 to 5 ounces grated Fontina cheese
  • 2/3 cup whole-milk ricotta cheese
  • 2 to 3 Tbsp. fresh sage leaves
  • A drizzle of hot honey for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425ºF.
    Heat 1 Tbsp. olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add shallots and cook until softened, about 4 to 5 minutes. Crumble sausage into pan and cook until browned, about 6 to 7 minutes.
  • Arrange naan breads on a large rimmed baking sheet. Spoon pumpkin puree evenly over each bread, and sprinkle with a little dried oregano.
    Sprinkle Fontina cheese evenly over each bread, followed by sausage and shallot mixture. Spoon small dollops of ricotta cheese overtop.
  • Place sage leaves in a small bowl and drizzle with remaining 1 Tbsp. olive oil, rubbing oil into leaves. Scatter sage leaves over each naan pizza.
    Transfer pan to the oven and bake for ~15 minutes, until pizzas are golden and crisp. Drizzle each pizza with hot honey, and garnish with cracked black pepper.

Notes

    • Store. Cover leftover naan pizza with foil and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
    • Reheat.
        • Air-fryer: Set the air-fryer to 350ºF and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, or until warm and crisp.
        • Stove-top: Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Add 1 naan pizza, halved, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, uncovered. On the side of the pan (not on the pizza), add a few drops of water, immediately cover, and cook pizza for a few more minutes, until heated through.
        • Oven: Preheat oven to 350ºF. Place the naan pizzas on a piece of foil and put it directly on the center oven rack for even heating on the top and bottom. Bake for about 10 to 12 minutes or until warm.
