Method

Step-by-step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a skillet, pour a splash of extra-virgin olive oil and heat it over medium heat. Add finely sliced shallots and sauté for 4 to 5 minutes, until soft and translucent.
Add ground sausage to the skillet with the caramelized shallots and cook for about 6 to 7 minutes, until browned and aromatic.
Prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place the naan breads flat and spread pumpkin puree over each, followed by a sprinkle of dried oregano.
Layer browned sausage and sautéed shallots on top of the pumpkin base. Add pieces of fontina cheese and dollops of ricotta cheese.
Drizzle fresh sage leaves with olive oil and scatter them on top of the assembled pizzas.
Bake for about 15 minutes, until the cheese is bubbling and the naan is crispy.
Drizzle the baked pizzas with hot honey for a spicy-sweet kick before serving.
