How Do You Make Veggie Pizza?
To make veggie pizza, start by preheating the oven, and coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. Unwrap the crescent dough, and either roll it into a rectangle or simply press it into a rectangle inside the sheet pan to form an even layer. Bake the dough until brown, then cool. Place the cream cheese, sour cream and ranch dressing mix in a bowl and mix until combined. Spread the ranch mixture over the pizza crust, then sprinkle on the chopped veggies and green onions. Cover and chill for one hour to let all the flavors blend together, then cut into squares and serve.
Tips For The Perfect Dish
You can use the crescent roll sheets or triangles, they’ll both work well. Just be sure to keep the dough in one piece as you unroll it so that it’s easy to press into the pan. I buy pre-shredded carrots to save on prep time. Any color bell peppers will work here – I use red and yellow because I like the color combination. Just be aware that green bell peppers are not as sweet as red, yellow and orange peppers. Veggie pizza will stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. No crescent roll dough on hand? You can also use biscuit dough or pizza dough. Be sure to cut your vegetables into small pieces so that they’re easier to eat on the pizza. Slice your veggie pizza with a pizza cutter and lift the slices out with a spatula. This helps keep the topping on the pizza slices when you serve them.
Veggie Pizza Flavor Variations
While this veggie pizza is delicious as-is, you can change up the flavors by adding other ingredients to the mix.
Vegetables: Feel free to use different veggies other than what is listed in the recipe. Some other great options include diced raw mushrooms, arugula, cooked cauliflower, sliced radishes, chopped cucumber, marinated artichoke hearts, sun dried tomatoes or fresh halved cherry tomatoes. Toppings: Add some fun veggie pizza toppings such as cooked crumbled bacon, fresh dill, fresh chopped basil or sliced black olives. Cheese: You can mix some shredded cheese into the ranch mixture or add a sprinkling of cheese over the top of the pizza. My favorite cheeses to use include mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, parmesan cheese or fontina cheese. Greek Yogurt: If you want a thicker sauce you can substitute half of the sour cream for plain Greek yogurt.
