Ingredients

1 delicata squash

4 flatbreads (naan, lavash, etc.)*

3/4 cup ricotta

1/2 cup raw pecan halves

1/4 cup dried tart cherries (or cranberries)

2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage

  3. Meanwhile, assemble the flatbreads on another baking sheet.
  4. Top flatbreads with the roasted squash rings then dollop ricotta evenly on top.
  5. Scatter pecans and dried cherries on top and sprinkle with chopped sage.
  6. Season generously with salt and pepper then place back into the oven for 7 to 10 minutes until edges of the flatbread start to turn golden brown and crispy, pecans are toasted and ricotta dollops melt a bit.
  7. Remove from the oven, let cool for 1 to 2 minutes before slicing and serving.
