There are some appetizers you just expect at every party… and for me, Veggie Pizza is one of them. I’m not sure if it’s a midwest thing or an everywhere thing, but either way… it’s one of my all time favorites.

There’s something about the soft, buttery crust combined with the flavored cream cheese that’s just SO yummy. And when you top it with fresh veggies and shredded cheese? It hits all the right notes.

Of course, if you search the internet there are tons of Crescent Roll Pizza recipes. (I’m not claiming this is anything new!) But. I am completely convinced that this is the BEST VEGGIE PIZZA recipe of all! It has just the right amount of creaminess and comfort, combined with just the right amount of freshness and flavor. I’ve spent a lifetime eating it… I should know!

Best of all, it’s a recipe that’s easy to tweak according to your specific tastes, which is always a win in my book! And if you have picky eaters? Let everyone top their own square! Seriously. Have you ever met a more delicious (or accommodating) appetizer? I think not. Enjoy!

Instructions

Bake the crust – spread the crescent roll dough in a greased 10×15 inch rimmed baking sheet. Poke several times with a fork to prevent bubbles. Bake at 375° for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside to cool.

Mix the base – combine the cream cheese, sour cream, ranch dressing mix, and dill weed in a medium mixing bowl. Use a hand mixer to beat until smooth and creamy.

Prepare the veggies – wash & finely chop the veggies while the crust cools.

Assemble the pizza – spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled crust. Add the veggies one layer at a time. Garnish with additional dried dill as desired.

Serve – serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
