Preparation Steps
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to create a perfectly crisp pizza crust.
- Combine the peeled and chopped pumpkin, sliced red onion, and olive oil in a baking dish. Toss until well-coated. Roast for about 20 minutes until tender and caramelized.
- After roasting, increase the oven temperature to 450°F (232°C).
- Spread red pesto with sundried tomatoes evenly across the pizza crust, leaving a small border around the edge.
- Layer half of the provolone cheese evenly over the sauce.
- Distribute half of the roasted pumpkin and onion mixture over the cheese layer.
- Finish by adding the remaining provolone cheese and the rest of the roasted pumpkin and onion mixture. Top with chopped bacon or sautéed mushrooms for a vegetarian option.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
- Allow to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes
For the best flavor, choose pie pumpkins over carving pumpkins. Allow the roasted mixture to cool slightly before layering to prevent a soggy crust.
