Ingredients
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
Step 1: Prepare the Crescent Roll Crust
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
Roll out the crescent dough and press the seams together to create a smooth, even layer on the baking sheet.
Use your fingers or a rolling pin to shape the dough into a rectangle or oval. Bake the crust for 10–12 minutes, or until golden brown. Once baked, allow the crust to cool completely.
Step 2: Make the Cream Cheese Spread
While the crust cools, prepare the cream cheese base.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, dill (or Italian seasoning), onion powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Use a hand mixer or whisk to blend the ingredients until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Step 3: Prep the Vegetables
Wash and dry all vegetables. Dice, chop, or shred the vegetables into small, uniform pieces. This ensures that each bite of pizza is bursting with fresh flavors and vibrant colors.
Step 4: Assemble the Pizza
Once the crust has cooled, spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the top, leaving a small border around the edges for a clean presentation.
Arrange the prepared vegetables on the cream cheese layer in a single, even layer. Feel free to mix and match toppings to suit your taste. Add any optional toppings, like shredded cheese or fresh herbs, at this stage.
Step 5: Chill and Serve
For best results, chill the assembled pizza in the refrigerator for 20–30 minutes.
This helps the cream cheese base firm up and makes slicing easier. When ready to serve, use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to slice the pizza into squares or wedges.
Serve cold or at room temperature, and enjoy this fresh, veggie-packed delight!
Pro Tips
- Make it ahead: Prepare the crust and cream cheese base ahead of time. Assemble the pizza just before serving to keep the veggies fresh and crisp.
- Customize your veggies: Use seasonal vegetables or whatever you have on hand. Zucchini, radishes, or snap peas would be excellent additions.
- Make it mini: Create individual pizzas by cutting the crescent dough into smaller portions before baking. Perfect for parties or a make-your-own-pizza night.
- Add a protein: For a more filling option, add sliced boiled eggs, chickpeas, or crumbled feta cheese.
- Spice it up: Drizzle a little hot sauce or sprinkle cayenne pepper for a zesty kick.
