I’m always amazed how fast these veggie pizza bars disappear This dish brings back fond memories of nineties potlucks and family gatherings It’s always a crowd favorite whether for a game day party or holiday event

Ingredients

• Crescent rolls: seamless sheets or rolls pressed together before baking make the crust easy to shape and bake
• Cream cheese: softened to room temperature mixes smoothly for the filling Regular or low fat options work well
• Mayonnaise and sour cream: combined create a creamy tangy layer You can swap with plain Greek yogurt if preferred
• Dry ranch seasoning powder: adds a punch of flavor Be sure not to use ranch dressing here
• Fresh broccoli cauliflower and carrots: provide a crunchy colorful topping Avoid thawed frozen vegetables as they affect texture

Step-by-Step Instructions

Sculpt the Base:

Press the crescent roll dough into a greased nine by thirteen inch baking dish Seal seams well if using rolls Bake in a preheated oven at three hundred fifty degrees Fahrenheit for twelve to fifteen minutes until golden brown Remove and allow to cool completely

Mix the Creamy Layer:

In a bowl combine softened cream cheese mayonnaise sour cream and dry ranch seasoning Stir until smooth and fully blended

Spread the Filling:

Once the crust is fully cooled spread the ranch cream cheese mixture evenly across the surface to prevent melting

Top with Vegetables:

Arrange the fresh chopped broccoli cauliflower and sliced carrots evenly over the cream cheese layer Make sure vegetables are dry to keep the crust crisp

Chill and Serve:

Refrigerate the assembled pizza for at least two hours to meld flavors and firm up the cream cheese layer for cleaner slicing

My favorite part is the creamy ranch spread which perfectly complements the fresh veggies It always brings a nostalgic feel of family potlucks and festive gatherings
