Fall Vegetable Pizza

With fall coming up, I have seen an increase in those yummy fall vegetables like butternut squash and zucchini. These vegetables are delicious in all kinds of recipes such as soups, veggie bakes, and yes, even on pizza. This pizza is not your traditional pizza as it has no sauce, just delicious vegetables and spices, and of course, pizza wouldn't be pizza without cheese.
