    Puff Pastry Veggie Pizza Ingredients

    To make this puff pastry pizza recipe, you’ll need a crust, a creamy dip to spread over the crust, and diced veggies for toppings.

    • Puff Pastry: For the pizza crust, we chose puff pastry. Another popular choice is refrigerated crescent rolls.
    • Cream Cheese: The cream cheese is the base of the spread or “pizza sauce”.
    • Sour Cream: Sour cream helps thin the cream cheese and makes it lighter in texture.
    • Mayonnaise: The mayonnaise also helps thin the cream cheese and adds flavor.
    • Ranch: We used powdered ranch dressing mix to flavor the cream cheese mixture.
    • Garlic Powder: The recipe calls for a little garlic powder for added flavor.
    • Worcestershire Sauce: A little Worcestershire sauce adds a lot of flavor to the ranch spread mix.
    • Veggies: We used diced broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, bell peppers, and celery.

    How To Make Cold Veggie Pizza

    There are three easy steps to making a cold veggie pizza: bake the crust, make the ranch dip, and add the toppings.

    a hand using a fork to perforate the dough

    Crust: Roll the thawed puff pastry out and fold over the edges to form a rim. Use a fork to crimp the rim and perforate the center of the crust. Then, bake it until golden and allow it to cool completely.

    Ranch Dip: For the pizza sauce, make a ranch dip to spread over the crust. Beat the softened cream cheese and then add the sour cream, mayonnaise, powdered ranch dressing mix, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce.

    Toppings: Top the puff pastry pizza with the diced vegetables.

    Recipe Variations

    There are so many variations on this classic recipe! Here are a few ideas:

    • More Vegetables: tomatoes, cucumbers, snap peas, onions, and mushrooms
    • Additional Toppings: cubed cheese, sliced olives, crumbled bacon
    • Pizza Sauce: spinach artichoke dip, southwest dip, french onion dip

    Make Ahead and Storage

    Make Ahead: One of the reasons we love this appetizer is that you can make this puff pastry pizza recipe ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator until serving time!

    Storage: Cover or transfer to an airtight container and store in the fridge for 3-4 days.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Do you cook veggies before putting them on pizza?

    No, the veggies are chopped and put on the pizza raw.

    How can you make veggie pizza healthier?

    You can make veggie pizza healthier by using low-fat crescent rolls for the crust. When making the ranch dip, use light or low-fat versions of the ingredients.

    How do you keep cold veggie pizza from getting soggy?

    Make sure you bake the crust long enough and use a homemade, thick, creamy sauce rather than ranch salad dressing. Plus, make sure the veggies are dry after washing them, and if you are really concerned, skip vegetables such as tomatoes and cucumbers since they contain more water.

      I love the term “brick” of cream cheese, haha 🙂 Why is it so hard to get kids to eat veggies but cheese they will eat anytime anywhere?
