    Carrot Shaped Veggie Pizzas

    Published: Mar 22, '12 · Modified: Sep 5, '23 · By: Beth Klosterboer · Commission earned on paid or sponsored links.

    Are you having trouble getting your kids to eat vegetables? Your kids will have fun eating these Carrot Shaped Veggie Pizzas topped with shredded carrots and broccoli.

    Carrot Shaped Veggie Pizza

    On Easter morning, I can't help but indulge in some sweets from my Easter basket and I'm sure many of you do too, whether you have your own basket or sneak something from your kid's.

    So, I thought it would be a good idea to create some Easter food that involved some healthy vegetables.

    When I think of Easter and vegetables, I always think of carrots, because that is what the Easter bunny eats, right?

    crescent roll carrots filled with ham salad or egg salad

    Last year I used Pillsbury Crescent Recipe Creations Seamless Dough Sheets to create Carrot Crescents Filled with Egg Salad. They were a big hit and have become one of my most popular Easter recipes.

    They look amazing but they do take a bit of time to make and some of my readers couldn't find the dough sheets.

    This year, I thought I'd share another carrot-shaped appetizer that takes less time and can be made with traditional crescent roll dough. These veggie pizzas are so quick and easy to make and they taste great.

    They just might get your kids to eat their veggies this Easter.

    Want more variety? Be sure to check out my Easter Egg Veggie Pizza too. It's topped with lots of colorful vegetables.

    Carrot Shaped Veggie Pizzas (makes 8)

    Ingredients

    a dusting of flour
    1 tube Pillsbury Crescent Rolls (8 rolls)*
    8 ounce tub Philadelphia Veggie Cream Cheese
    1 ½ cups finely chopped carrots
    ½ of a head of broccoli
    1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream, whole milk, or egg white

    *I cut this recipe in half and used the small can of crescent rolls because I was just making them for the picture. You'll notice the small can in the picture below.

    Supplies

    cutting board
    pizza wheel or knife
    pastry brush
    parchment paper or Silpat lined baking sheet

    Instructions

    cutting crescent roll dough into carrot shapes.

    Cut the carrot-shaped crescent roll dough.

    Dust a cutting board with flour. Unroll the crescent rolls. Separate them at the perforations.

    Use a pizza wheel or knife to cut the crescent rolls into carrot shapes. Take the excess dough and cut it into three pieces.

    Brush the top edge of the crescent roll carrot with cream, milk, or egg white. Press one end of each of the three excess dough pieces onto the top edge of the crescent roll carrot creating the green leafy part of the carrot.

    put carrot-shaped dough on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.

    Place on baking sheet.

    So that the carrots don't stick to the parchment paper, sprinkle a light dusting of flour over the area that was brushed with the cream, milk, or egg white.

    Turn the carrots over and place them on your lined baking sheet.

    Refrigerate the dough for 15-20 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400 degrees.

    bake carrot-shaped dough and top with veggie cream cheese, shredded carrots, and broccoli.

    Bake and decorate.

    Bake crescent roll carrots for 7-10 minutes until golden brown. Allow them to cool completely.

    Divide the veggie cream cheese among the carrot-shaped crescent rolls. Spread it on top of each carrot.

    Sprinkle finely chopped carrots over the triangle part of the carrot then add broccoli to the top.

    Serve and enjoy.

    Variations

    If your kids don't like broccoli, you could use any other green vegetable like celery, sugar snap peas, green peppers, etc.

    You can also replace the carrots with finely chopped orange bell peppers.

    Storage

    You can cover the veggie pizzas and keep them in the refrigerator for up to two days.

      Hi Beth,
      Instead of baking the crescent rolls, I cut up large pita shells into triangles, and used cream cheese to "attach" the broccoli/celery - they were a huge success! Thanks for the wonderful ideas!

      Thanks so much for posting this. I recently started Weight Watchers and as a result have been avoiding any food posts, but this is great! I think I might try them with reduced fat crescents and low fat cream cheese to take to the in-laws on Easter Sunday. That will give me something festive to take, yet healthy to eat!

        Thanks Julie. Congratulations on the birth of your baby. I'm sure being tired makes being creative a huge challenge. I'm glad to help. Hope your daughter has fun with the carrots!

      I am definitely going to make this! I've been wondering what to make that's different this year for Easter and you just saved me! I'm also going to attempt to make your egg salad stuffed crescents this year as well. (I may just try an easier version, but use your inspiration for my inspiration

        I hope you enjoy making one or both of the carrot recipes. If you do make the carrot crescents and find an easier way, I'd love to be able to share it with everyone. Be sure to send pictures. Have fun!
