I love sharing recipes from my family and this one comes from my Aunt Lana. She caters weddings and other parties and she always seems to have the most incredible recipes up her sleeve. I was first introduced to a version of this recipe at a party for my cousin and it’s been a favorite ever since.

At first glance, I was blown away by how colorful and just gosh-darned beautiful this little appetizer was. But I figured I probably wouldn’t be that into it. I mean, it’s just veggies after all. I was SO wrong!

Veggie Pizza Recipe

The spread is made with sour cream and cream cheese and any type of fresh or dried herbs you have on hand. I used fresh chives and dill for this version and it was mouth-watering good.

Any veggies you like can be used in this recipe. I usually see what looks good at the Farmer’s Market and go from there. I do like to include red, yellow, and orange bell peppers each time because I think the colors are so vibrant and the peppers are nice and crunchy and sweet. Broccoli and cucumber add some vibrant green hues and then I sprinkled the whole thing with more fresh chives.

Why I Love This Recipe

Quick and easy to assemble. I love that each element of this vegetable pizza can be prepared in advance and assembled in less than 5 minutes.

Fabulous flavor. It doesn’t matter how easy an appetizer is if the flavor isn’t on point. This recipe delivers with bold, savory flavors in a handheld package. You’ll be surprised how quickly the non-veggie lovers in your life decide this easy appetizer is their new favorite!

Great for parties. Veggie pizza is perfect for parties and game day celebrations because they’re easy to hold and eat. The recipe can easily be double or tripled for a crowd.

A hit with kids and adults. I’m frequently entertaining for families which means that I need appetizers that work for all generations. This veggie pizza recipe is so delicious that it appeals to all ages.

1. Spicy Ranch Pretzels
2. Stuffed Mushrooms
3. Jalapeño Popper Bites
4. Bacon Wrapped Chicken Teriyaki Bites
5. Spicy Ranch Crackers

I served this at a party a few weeks ago and it was gone so fast – you wouldn’t believe it! It’s so funny because people always think, “Oh. Here, let me have some vegetables so I can feel good about what I’m eating.” Then they try it and it’s like an epiphany  – SO GOOD!

I use a pizza cutter or a large knife to cut these bites down to size and throw them on some white platters that really show off all the beautiful colors. Trust me, serve this at your next get-together and watch them disappear 🙂

What You’ll Need

Only a few simple ingredients are required for this easy recipe! As always, you can find the full printable recipe with complete instructions in the recipe card at the end of this post. Let’s take a look at what you’ll need:

• refrigerated crescent rolls – you can use a name brand or store brand, whichever your prefer.
• cream cheese – full fat or reduced fat cream cheese works.
• sour cream – light sour cream or full fat.
• fresh dill and fresh chives – I love the fresh herbs in this recipe but if you prefer, you can use one tablespoon of ranch dip seasoning instead of the fresh herbs.
• salt and pepper – to taste
• assorted veggies – I like to use broccoli, bell peppers, carrots, green onion and cucumber but any veggies that you would eat raw will work in this recipe.

Use the full sheet crescent dough if you can find it!

How To Make Vegetable Pizza

1. Combine sour cream, cream cheese, dill, and chives in a small bowl.
2. Chill for 15 minutes.
3. Roll out crescent rolls so all the pieces are sticking together.
4. Bake for 6 to 7 minutes then let cool.
5. Spread chilled cream cheese mixture onto cooled crescent roll sheet.
6. Top with fresh veggies and additional chives if desired.
7. Cut and serve.

If not serving immediately, cover and refrigerate until serving.

Storage Information

Store any leftover veggie pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Keep in mind that the crescent rolls will start to get soggy as they absorb the cream cheese mixture.

I do not recommend freezing this recipe.
