A creamy, sweet carrot purée takes the place of tomato sauce in this unexpected pizza. Buy carrots with the greens still attached: the bitter carrot fronds make a great topping for the pizza and balance out the natural sweetness of the carrots.

Do ahead:

Carrot purée can be made up to 2 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator until you're ready to assemble the pizza.
