Vegetarian Pizza With Pesto And Delicata Squash

• 1 delicata squash - halved lengthwise, seeded, and cut into 1/4-inch slices
• 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon flour, or as needed for dusting
• 1 (16 ounce) package pizza dough
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch, for dusting
• 4 tablespoons basil pesto sauce
• 16 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese, or as needed
• 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste
• 2 tablespoons chopped pecans, or more to taste (optional)

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2. Combine delicata squash and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a bowl and mix well. Spread out on a baking sheet and season with salt and pepper.
3. Bake in the preheated oven until delicata squash has softened, about 10 minutes. Cut into pieces.
4. Increase oven temperature to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
5. Divide pizza dough into 2 equal pieces. Dust a work surface with flour and roll dough out into 2 pizza rounds.
