Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 2 cans crescent rolls
Cheese Spread
- 12 ounces cream cheese
- 3/4 cup sour cream
- 1 package Ranch dressing powdered dressing
Toppings
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 3/4 cup shredded carrots
- 3/4 cup chopped broccoli florets
- 3/4 cup finely diced green and red peppers
- 3/4 cup sliced black olives
- 3/4 cup sliced green onions
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray a cookie sheet or jelly roll pan with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking during baking.
- Form Crust: Remove the crescent roll dough from the cans and press it firmly onto the prepared cookie sheet, sealing the perforations tightly with your fingers for a solid crust. Place the crust in the oven and bake according to the crescent roll package instructions, typically around 10-12 minutes, until golden brown. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely.
- Prepare Cheese Mixture: While the crust cools, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, and Ranch dressing powder in a bowl. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Assemble Pizza: Using a knife or spatula, spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled crescent roll crust. Next, evenly distribute the chopped vegetables—carrots, broccoli, green and red peppers, olives, and green onions—on top, gently pressing them into the cheese layer. Finish by sprinkling the shredded cheddar cheese over the vegetable layer.
- Serve: Slice the veggie pizza into 12 pieces and serve immediately. Enjoy this colorful and flavorful appetizer fresh for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- You can customize the vegetable toppings to your preference or seasonal availability.
- For a sharper flavor, use extra-sharp cheddar cheese or substitute with your favorite cheese blend.
- If you want a spicier kick, add a few dashes of hot sauce to the cream cheese mixture.
- This pizza is best served chilled or at room temperature rather than reheated.
- To make this recipe vegetarian-friendly, ensure the Ranch dressing powder is free of animal-derived ingredients or use a vegan substitute.
