Description

Transform your holiday table with this Festive Christmas Tree Veggie Pizza, a vibrant, healthy appetizer that’s as fun to make as it is to eat. With a flaky crescent dough base, creamy hummus, and colorful fresh vegetables, this dish will bring festive cheer to any gathering.


Ingredients

Produce:

  • 2 cups fresh vegetables (e.g., broccoli florets, cherry tomatoes, shredded carrots, bell peppers)

Condiments:

  • 1 cup hummus

Baking & Spices:

  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

Dough:

  • 8 ounces refrigerated crescent dough sheet

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough:

    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
    • Lightly dust your work surface with flour. Roll out the crescent dough into a flat sheet.
    • Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to shape the dough into a large triangle to resemble a Christmas tree.
  2. Bake the Dough:

    • Place the dough triangle on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
    • Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until golden brown.
    • Remove from the oven and let the dough cool completely.
  3. Add the Hummus Base:

    • Spread hummus evenly over the cooled dough, leaving a small border around the edges for a clean look.
  4. Decorate with Vegetables:

    • Arrange the vegetables creatively to mimic a decorated Christmas tree:
      • Use broccoli florets as the “branches.”
      • Place cherry tomatoes or diced red bell peppers as “ornaments.”
      • Sprinkle shredded carrots to resemble “garland.”
      • Add other vegetables like yellow bell peppers or black olives for extra color.
  5. Serve and Enjoy:

    • Slice the pizza into smaller pieces for serving.
    • For added flavor, sprinkle with herbs like parsley or drizzle with olive oil.

Notes

  • Make Ahead: You can bake the dough and prepare the veggies in advance. Assemble the pizza just before serving.
  • Storage: Best enjoyed fresh, but you can refrigerate leftovers for up to 24 hours.
  • Customization: Swap out the hummus or vegetables for your favorite toppings to suit your taste or dietary needs.
