The day is finally here! It’s the Virtual Vegan Potluck! I love this day since I get to stock up on all sorts of new recipes while also sharing what I’ve been doing in the kitchen lately. I’ve had plenty of fall-themed recipes in my oven lately. I can’t seem to get enough butternut squash in particular so I decided to cover a pizza in butternut squash. It was a pretty good idea, but why stop there when I can also add other roasted veggies like potatoes, onion and garlic? Perfection.
I honestly fell out-of-love with pizza when I started exploring veganism until I realized I could top pizza with whatever I want. Pizza does not have to have cheese on it in order for it to still be delicious. Now, pizza and I get along just fine due to recipes like this one. Thanks for visiting the potluck today and be sure to enjoy the rest of the recipes using the links at the end of this post!
Ingredients:
- 1/2 of a medium-sized butternut squash cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1/2 of a red onion, julienned

- 1/4 cup vegan pesto, either store-bought or homemade

Directions:
