Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add thinly sliced shallots and sauté for about 4-5 minutes until soft and caramelized.
  3. Add the ground sausage to the skillet. Cook for 6-7 minutes until browned, breaking into smaller pieces.
  4. Place naan breads on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spoon pumpkin puree on each naan, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle dried oregano over the pumpkin.
  5. Evenly sprinkle Fontina cheese over the pumpkin puree, then add the sautéed sausage and caramelized shallots, followed by dollops of ricotta cheese.
  6. Drizzle a bit of olive oil over fresh sage leaves and scatter them across the naan pizzas.
  7. Bake for about 15 minutes. They are done when the cheese is bubbling and the edges of the naan are golden brown.
  8. Drizzle hot honey over each pizza before serving for a sweet and spicy kick.
