Ingredients

Scale

For the crust:

  • 2 cans refrigerated crescent roll dough

Cream cheese base:

  • 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill or Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the toppings:

  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/2 cup diced bell peppers (red, yellow, or green)
  • 1/2 cup diced cucumbers (seeded)
  • 1/4 cup sliced cherry tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup chopped broccoli florets
  • 2 tablespoons chopped red onion

Optional toppings:

  • 1/4 cup black olives (sliced)
  • 2 tablespoons capers
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or Parmesan)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (parsley, basil, or cilantro)
  • 1/4 teaspoon red chili flakes (for a spicy kick)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare the crust: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper. Roll out the crescent roll dough and press the seams together to form a smooth, even layer on the baking sheet.
  2. Bake the crust: Bake the crust for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown. Once baked, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool completely before adding toppings.
  3. Prepare the cream cheese base: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, dried dill or Italian seasoning, onion powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Use a hand mixer or whisk to blend everything until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste as needed.
  4. Prepare the vegetables: Wash and dry all vegetables thoroughly. Dice, chop, or shred the carrots, bell peppers, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, broccoli florets, and red onion into small, uniform pieces to ensure even distribution and vibrant flavor on the pizza.
  5. Assemble the veggie pizza: Spread the cream cheese base evenly over the cooled crust. Sprinkle the prepared fresh vegetables evenly over the cream cheese layer. Add any optional toppings such as black olives, capers, shredded cheese, fresh herbs, or red chili flakes for extra flavor and texture.
  6. Serve: Slice the veggie pizza into squares or triangles and serve immediately as a refreshing appetizer or snack. The contrast between the crispy crust, creamy base, and crisp vegetables makes for a delightful bite every time.

Notes

  • Ensure the crust is fully cooled before spreading the cream cheese base to prevent it from melting and becoming soggy.
  • Feel free to customize the veggies based on your preference or seasonal availability.
  • This recipe can be prepared a few hours ahead of time and kept refrigerated; add fresh herbs and chili flakes right before serving for best taste.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute crescent roll dough with a gluten-free pizza crust.
  • Use fresh, high-quality cream cheese and sour cream for the creamiest texture and best flavor.
