Fall is full of great in-season ingredients that can be used to make a healthy and tasty fall pizza. Here are a few fall ingredients as well as suggestions on how to use them in order to make a great pizza.

Pumpkin

Pumpkin can be used in a wide variety of different dishes, and it can be great on pizza as well. For your pizza, you are going to need to purchase a pumpkin and prepare it before you can use it on the pizza. You’ll need to cut up the pumpkin and roast it until it is soft, and then use the soft roasted squares on your pizza.

• Sauce: When it comes to sauce and pumpkin pizza, keep the sauce light and thin. The pumpkin itself is soft and juicy and can be overpowered by a lot of sauce and create a pizza that is a little too juicy. …show more content…
You want to go with vegetables or meats that have a strong flavor profile as pumpkin has a very mild flavor. You can pair pumping with garlic, spinach, Brussels sprouts, shiitake mushrooms, bacon and sausage. Herbs such as sage and rosemary also work really well on pumpkin pizzas.

Fennel

Fennel is technically an herb, however, you can use the entire plant as well. To prepare it, all you need to do is purchase and wash a bundle of fennel and slice it very thinly. Fennel is often used as a spice in sausage, making it a great flavor for pizza.

• Sauce: Fennel has a great flavor profile, and works well with most pizza sauces. You can use pretty much any type of sauce that you want, from traditional marinara to compote to olive oil. Just use your favorite type of sauce on this pizza.
• Cheese: Fennel works really well with a wide variety of cheese. Try to use a mix of soft cheeses, such as mozzarella and blue cheese, and hard cheeses, such as Italian provolone and parmigiano reggiano.
• Toppings: Fennel works well with more robust flavors such as roasted bell peppers, green onions, olives, anchovies and red onions. Sausage is the best meat to use with fennel; it is often used to spice up sausage and thus works really together on pizza. Finally, dried and fresh Italian herbs also work well on fennel
