Vegetable Pizza for Parties

This Easy Appetizer With Eight Vegetables For Any Party is a recipe from a friend in Riverton, Utah. She knew I loved this appetizer, and whenever I had a party she always volunteered to bring it to my home. I still don’t make it as well as she does, but it’s close enough for me. This recipe is always a hit because it can be eaten with a fork or picked up as a finger food snack. The combination is delicious with cream cheese and the wide variety of vegetables you can use.

You can bake the crust the day before and chop the vegetables a few hours before serving, then spread them over the crust with the cream cheese-mayonnaise topping. My mouth is watering, I love it so much!

The hardest part, if you want to call it hard, is just chopping the vegetables. If you have some sort of chopper to chop the eight vegetables it is pretty easy to make. Here are the eight vegetables I chose for this appetizer:  broccoli, mushrooms, red bell peppers, green bell peppers, yellow bell peppers, cauliflower, carrots, and radishes. This is a really good snack for the park, or to take to a family reunion. It makes a large cookie sheet full, approximately 12 inches by 18 inches.

Step Three

Gather the vegetables you want to use, I used the ones the recipe called for, but you can add different ones, or use a smaller variety of vegetables.

You can start cutting the vegetables as soon as the Crescent Roll crust is baked and cooled. I washed and cut the vegetables as shown below before I used the vegetable chopper.

How long will this vegetable pizza stay fresh?

It’s best if served the day you make it, but it will stay fresh for one more day in the refrigerator. The crust becomes soggy after two days from the cream cheese mixture and fresh vegetables.

How do I store this appetizer after making it?

After making it, cover the cookie sheet with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator.

Can I use different vegetables?

Absolutely, any vegetable will work. I love this combination, but just about any chopped vegetables will work.

Can I freeze it after making it?

I would not recommend freezing it because the crust will become soggy from the cream mixture and the vegetables. I highly recommend making it the day you are going to serve it. Yes, you can bake the crust the day before.

Final Word

I was thinking today, if you have any recipes your family has made, please get the recipe from them before they pass on. There are so many recipes my mother made that I really wish I had written down or copied. Yes, I have some of them, but some my mother “had them in her head” and they were not written down. Oh, how I wish I had thought to get those recipes. Please teach your family to cook from scratch, we need to pass down that skill. Please keep prepping, we must. May God Bless this world, Linda

    I’ve been looking back over some of your articles and have a question about the Bega canned cheese and the Red Feather butter. Thank you for showing a picture of opened cans. Once opened, should you transfer the product out of the can? Should these opened items then be stored in the refrigerator? Wouldn’t want to handle the wrong way and waste them. Thanks

    1. Hi Grammy Chris, thank you for your kind words! Yes, if you open the Red Feather butter or Bega Cheese, place the contents in a glass container and place them in the refrigerator. I do better with pictures, I learn by looking at them. Linda

  4. I LOVE this recipe. I have been making it for years. Like you said I use different veggies depends on what I want at the time or what the get together is. In the summer time I do like to keep this in the fridge as a snack. it’s easy and you don’t feel guilty about snacking. Always a hit when I take it somewhere.
