Veggie Pizza
Description
Starting with crescent roll dough pressed into a baking pan and baked until golden brown, this pizza creates a flaky, mildly buttery crust. Once cooled, a smooth and tangy spread made from cream cheese, sour cream, and ranch dip mix is spread evenly over the crust. A colorful assortment of finely shredded carrots, diced bell peppers, chopped broccoli, and sliced green onions is then layered on top.
The assembled pizza is refrigerated for an hour, allowing flavors to meld and the topping to set, resulting in a chilled, refreshing preparation. The variety of raw vegetables contributes crunch and subtle sweetness and bitterness contrasts, balanced by the creamy and slightly tangy ranch mixture. The combination provides a light, vegetable-forward dish suitable for serving cold as an appetizer or party snack.
The dough base from crescent rolls offers a convenient alternative to traditional pizza dough, adding a tender, flaky texture. The mix of vegetables can be varied according to preference, and the pizza remains fresh in the refrigerator for up to two days.
Ingredients
- 2 ounce cans crescent rolls
- 12 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 packet ranch dip mix
- 3/4 cup carrot shredded
- 1 cup bell pepper red, yellow or a combination, diced
- 1 cup broccoli raw or lightly steamed, chopped
- 1/4 cup green onion sliced
- cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a sheet pan with cooking spray.
- Unroll the crescent dough and press it into the bottom of the sheet pan in an even layer. Alternatively you can use a rolling pin to roll it into a rectangle.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely.
- In a small bowl, mix together the cream cheese, sour cream, and ranch dip mix.
- Spread the ranch mixture evenly over the crust.
- Top with carrots, bell peppers, broccoli and green onions. Cover the pan with plastic wrap. Chill for one hour, then cut into squares and serve.
Notes
- Both crescent roll sheets and triangle packs can be used; keep dough in one piece when unrolling to maintain crust integrity.
- Any color bell peppers work; red and yellow offer a sweeter flavor and more vibrant appearance compared to green or orange peppers.
- The veggie pizza will stay fresh refrigerated for up to two days if covered tightly.
