2. Saute Aromatics: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a medium high-sided pan over medium-high heat. When oil is shimmering, add squash and cook until beginning to soften, 6-8 minutes. Add maple syrup, nutmeg and 1 tsp salt and continue to cook until squash is coated and lightly caramelized, 3-5 minutes more. Remove from heat and gently mash half of the squash with a fork.
3. Bake Pizza: Spread butternut squash over pizza crust. Top with pecans. Bake pizza directly on middle oven rack for 10-15 minutes, or until crust is golden.
4. Make Rosemary Tahini: While pizza bakes, in a small bowl combine tahini, rosemary, lemon juice and 2 tbsp water. Whisk until it softens, adding up to 1 more tbsp water as needed. It should be thick but drizzle consistency.
5. Finish Pizza: Top flatbread with greens, rosemary tahini drizzle, and pomegranate seeds.
