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
- 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.
- Bake the crust for 10–12 minutes, or until golden brown. Once baked, allow the crust to cool completely.
- 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.
-
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.
-
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.
- For best results, chill the assembled pizza in the refrigerator for 20–30 minutes.
Notes
- 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.
