The Best Cold Veggie Pizza!

Why eat greasy, leftover pizza when you can make a new one with fresh garden veggies that don’t need to be reheated?
Make this recipe ahead of time and serve chilled, perfect to take to a party, picnic or serve for a light brunch dish.
Kids love it because the pizza can be cut into small wedges, squares, or strips that are easy to hold and carry!

Veggie Pizza Toppings

The veggie pizza toppings in this recipe are made up of a colorful combination of broccoli, carrots, red peppers, and onions. But any combo will do, the options are endless! Try adding anything that is typically mixed into a salad, like fresh herbs, chopped olives, shredded cheese, sliced meat, or even anchovies!

Recipe Variations

CRESCENT ROLLS: Crescent rolls bake up light and flaky but still firm enough to hold the toppings. Pre-made pie dough and puff pastry will also work.

BASE: Ranch dressing mix gives the cold veggie pizza a salad-like flavor, but nearly anything can be added to the sour cream and cream cheese. Try sour cream with a flavored cream cheese spread such as garden vegetable, chive & onion, or roasted garlic.

VEGGIES: Even leftover veggies can be diced and tossed onto a cold veggie pizza! Sundried tomatoes, mushrooms, shredded brussels sprouts, green onion, and sliced black olives are excellent toppings, too!

In the Air Fryer:
