Ingredients

2 packages crescent roll dough
2 packages cream cheese (8oz/250g packages), softened
1 package Ranch dressing mix (28g package)
1 cup mayonnaise
2 cups cauliflower florets
2 cups broccoli florets
3 green onions, sliced
2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded

(Hint: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Unroll the crescent roll dough and spread it out on a cookie sheet. Pinch the seams together to form a large dough rectangle. Then, pinch around the edges to create a crust.
Bake the crescent roll dough for about 12 minutes or until golden brown. Once done, remove it from the oven and set it aside to cool.
In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, ranch dressing mix, and mayonnaise. Use an electric mixer on low speed to blend them until smooth and well-combined.
Once the crust has cooled, spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the dough.
Layer the cauliflower and broccoli florets, green onions, and halved cherry tomatoes over the ranch dressing.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top of the veggies.
Cut the pizza into slices and serve cold. Be sure to refrigerate any leftovers.

Storage/Reheating

If you have any leftovers (which is rare!), store the vegetable pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will stay fresh for up to 3 days. Since it’s best served cold, I typically don’t recommend reheating it, but you can if you prefer. Just be sure to heat it gently to avoid making the crust soggy.

FAQs

Can I use a different type of dough for the crust?

Yes! If you don’t have crescent roll dough, you can use pizza dough, puff pastry, or even a gluten-free dough for the crust. Just make sure to bake it until golden brown before adding the toppings.

Can I make this pizza ahead of time?

Absolutely! This vegetable pizza can be made a day ahead. Just store it in the fridge without cutting it into slices, and it will be ready to serve when needed.

What if I don’t like ranch dressing?

If ranch dressing isn’t your thing, you can replace it with a different creamy dressing, such as Italian, Caesar, or even a garlic and herb cream cheese mixture.

Can I freeze the vegetable pizza?

I don’t recommend freezing this pizza after it’s been assembled. The vegetables and cream cheese mixture don’t freeze well and can become soggy once thawed. However, you can freeze the dough and the ranch mixture separately for future use!

Is this recipe vegetarian?

Yes, this vegetable pizza is completely vegetarian and can be made vegan by using plant-based cream cheese and mayo.

Conclusion

This vegetable pizza is a fun, flavorful, and easy-to-make dish that I’m sure will become a favorite in your household. The combination of a crispy crust, creamy dressing, fresh veggies, and melty cheese is a delightful treat. Plus, it’s customizable, making it perfect for any gathering or just a simple snack. Enjoy!
