Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to create the perfect environment for baking your Autumn Naan Pizzas.

  3. Add 1 pound of ground sausage to the skillet with the caramelized shallots. Cook for about 6-7 minutes until the sausage is browned.
  4. Lay out your naan breads on a baking sheet and spread a layer of creamy pumpkin puree over each naan.
  5. Top each naan with shredded Fontina cheese, sautéed sausage, and dollops of ricotta cheese.
  6. Garnish each pizza with fresh sage leaves and drizzle with olive oil.
  7. Transfer to the preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes until the cheese is bubbling and the edges are golden.
  8. Drizzle with hot honey and slice them up while still warm.
