Vegetable Pizza Recipe!

Here is finally is. My veggies pizza recipe. I had every intention of sitting down and figuring out the calorie contents of this bad boy, but I'm not quite sure I even want to know. In any case, this family is addicted.

This is not something quick to make because of all of the chopping up you have to do with the vegetables. We have a pretty nifty cutter that chops everything into small squares, the finer the pieces the better! This way instead of having say, one piece of broccoli in this bite, and a piece and cauliflower and carrot on another, this way you have everything in one bite. This recipe makes two very large pans.

So here's what you'll need.

5 packages of the rolled crescents.
16 oz Sour cream
16 oz cream cheese
2 cups Mayo (NOT MIRACLE WHIP!)
3 packages of hidden valley ranch dressing mix
Broccoli
Cauliflower
Carrots
Finely shredded cheese

First, I would chop the vegetables. This is the longest process of the whole pizza. You want as small of pieces as possible. The little bits that seem to fall off the heads of broccoli and cauliflower and okay to keep too. If you can get someone to help you with this part do it, it is very time consuming. You can mix all of the vegetables together, or you can separate them to keep them on one at a time.

Secondly, you will roll the crescents out flat. Knead the rolls together so that they will merge and instead of say five of six crescent rolls you'll have one large dough across the whole pan. Just a warning, do not try to mush all of the crescents together into one ball hoping it will be easier to roll out in the end. It doesn't work! Unroll each crescent and flatten them into the next.

Put these in the oven, then should take only a few minutes to get brown, I usually keep my oven around 350 or 375.

Next, mix the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and two cups of mayo together. Once they are mixed together add the salad dressing mix. You can do this while your crescents bake, but don't get too distracted. They brown pretty quickly!

When the crescents have cooled completely smear the mixed condiments over the entire things. Apply generously.

Lastly sprinkle the veggies onto the pizza, the dip will help to hold them in place and finally add the cheese as the final layer. I personally like to apply the broccoli on first because I can see exactly how much is on, followed by cauliflower, and the carrots last because it adds a little bit of color.


This is best served the following day. The night of the crescents will still be hard, but over night as the dip soaks into them it gets soft and takes in a lot of the flavor. Best dish to bring to a party hands down. I can't count how many people have told me mine was the best veggie pizza they had ever had. Cutting your veggies super small makes a huge difference!
