Why You'll Love My Veggie Pizza Recipe With Crescent Rolls
So, I recently had a thought. If you haven't been to a party with crescent roll veggie pizza, was it even a party? I didn't think so. I feel like this fresh and tasty appetizer, also called cold veggie pizza, is a mainstay dish to pass at any party or get-together.
And why not? Making this is seriously quick and easy. It adds a really nice freshness next to all the typically heavier party and game day fare you find at the apps and snacks table.
Whenever I make it, people always come back for seconds, so you know it's going to be a popular option. Naturally, I had to share my take on this classic recipe so that you can get in on the fun! Here are a few more reasons why I love it:
- Full of fresh flavor
- Customizable — add whatever toppings you like
- A fun take on classic veggie pizzas
- Incredibly easy thanks to the crescent rolls
- Kid-friendly
- Perfect for all sorts of parties and get-togethers!
Ingredient Information And Substitutions
- Crescent Rolls- If available at your store, get the crescent roll sheets. It will save you the hassle of having to carefully separate each roll. If not available, get regular crescent rolls and roll them out trying to keep them attached as much as possible to make one big rectangular sheet and press together the edges that come apart.
- Creamy Sauce- Your "sauce" isn't really a sauce at all! At least, it's not a traditional pizza sauce. You'll need cream cheese, mayonnaise, ranch seasoning, and dried dill to make it.
- Toppings- This is where it gets fun — you can totally mix it up and add whatever veggie pizza toppings are your favorite. I typically go with broccoli, grape tomatoes, shredded carrots, black olives, and shredded cheddar cheese. But, be creative and add what you love to your crescent roll veggie pizza!
How To Make Crescent Dough Veggie Pizza
Step 1- Bake the crescent rolls.
Place the crescent roll sheets on a prepared baking sheet and follow the package instructions as directed to bake.
Step 2- Make the sauce.
Add the cream cheese, mayonnaise, ranch seasoning, and dried dill to a large bowl and mix until well combined. Spread the sauce in an even layer on top of the crescent roll sheet.
Step 3- Top the pizza.
Add your prepared toppings of choice and gently press them onto the topping. refrigerate until ready to serve. Slice and enjoy!
