How to Cut Carrot-Shaped Veggie Pizza
This recipe is EXTREMELY simple, too! It’s the perfect dish for tasking your kids with helping. This way, they’ll be even more excited to eat their veggies now that they’ve helped, too!
The most difficult part of this recipe is cutting the pastry sheets into carrot shapes. Leave this step to the adult while the kiddos can decorate.
Cut the sheet in either 1/2 or 1/3’s horizontally, depending on how large you want your veggie pizzas. You can either use a round pizza slicer or a knife but whichever way you choose be sure to wipe the blade with a towel between each slice to avoid a mess!
Next, cut out each carrot! There will be a few odd-shaped pieces along the edges but that’s okay. Let’s call them ‘quality control’. Best to snack on them before serving.
Veggie Pizza Toppings
The veggies you choose for your toppings don’t have to be broccoli and carrots. I selected these because they are easy to come by and enjoyed by most.
For the green stem you could use chives, celery, chopped spinach, or even cucumbers.
For the orange carrot portion of the veggie pizza you could also use pre-cut carrot matchsticks (preferred to grating baby carrots like I did!), orange bell pepper, sweet potato, or pumpkin.
Veggie Pizza Varieties
Every veggie pizza can be different, and not just because of its different toppings. You can add different spices to the cream cheese mixture to give a different flavor profile. You can even add in some cheese to the cream cheese mixture for some additional cheesy-goodness!
Don’t let these options stop you. Get creative with what you enjoy!

Carrot-Shaped Veggie Pizza
Ingredients
- 2 Cans Pillsbury crescent rolls
- 2 Packages Cream cheese
- 1 Package Ranch seasoning powder
- 1 Head Broccoli
- 1 Bag Baby carrots
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Set out cream cheese. Grab a medium sized baking sheet and spray on non-stick spray. Open the crescent rolls. Cover the pan with the rolls, flattening the perforations together. It doesn't have to be perfect as the cream cheese spread with cover the imperfections! Bake in the oven 10-12 minutes.
- Wash your veggies. Slice the broccoli into very small pieces. Shred the baby carrots into matchstick size pieces. Place on a paper towel and cover with a second piece of paper towel and press out water. Set aside.
- In a bowl combine cream cheese and Ranch seasoning. Mix well. If the cream cheese is still too hard to mix, microwave it in 10 second increments. Microwave as least amount as possible.
- Once the dough is cooled spread the cream cheese mixture across the entirety of the dough.
- Use a pizza cutter or knife to cut into carrot-shaped triangles. There will be some small pieces on the edges that will become scraps- perfect for snacking on!
- Cover the edges of the carrot with the broccoli pieces and the remainder of the triangle with the carrot shreds. Enjoy!
Notes
- Be sure to keep the Carrot-Shaped Veggie Pizza refrigerated when not enjoying
