Candy Corn Veggie Pizza
Veggie pizza is always one of my go-to recipes for parties or easy appetizers, so I thought that I would make it into a fun Halloween version! I’ve made a Christmas wreath and Thanksgiving turkey version in the past, so a Halloween option was definitely needed. lol!
I actually hate real candy corn, but I love the colors and think they’re so cute for Halloween decor. This Halloween veggie pizza adds a nice pop of color to your table and tastes delicious. Plus, it’s easy to make
I’m still not exactly sure what our plans are for Halloween yet this year, but we will definitely be continuing with our traditional Halloween family dinner and movie night. This candy corn veggie pizza will be one of the items on our menu and is a good way to get those veggies in!

Candy Corn Halloween Veggie Pizza
This easy candy corn veggie pizza recipe with be a Halloween hit! Perfect for Halloween parties or a fun Halloween dinner.
Ingredients
- 2 cans Pillsbury crescent rolls (regular size) or dough sheets
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened Allow to warm to room temperature or place in the microwave for 15-20 seconds to soften
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 3-4 tbsp. ranch seasoning Alternatively, you can also use other seasonings such as vegetable seasoning, dill, rosemary, or basil.
- 3/4 cup cauliflower, finely chopped
- 2 carrots, finely chopped or shredded
- 1 yellow pepper, finely chopped
Instructions
-
Pre-heat the oven to 375F.
-
Combine the dough from both packages into a ball. On a lightly floured surface, press it out into a circle {approximately 11.5 inch diameter}. Ensure the thickness is uniform.Â
-
Bake on a pizza stone or flat baking sheet for approximately 10 minutes until golden brown. If the pastry is puffing up too much, you can poke it with a fork a few times mid-baking. Allow to cool. {NOTE: If the edges are uneven, you can form into a nice circle by placing a plate over top and trimming off the excess dough with a knife.}
-
In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese, sour cream and ranch seasoning until well combined and smooth. Spread evenly over the cooled crust.
-
Add a circle of cauliflower in the middle of the pizza. {NOTE: To get an even placement, lightly press a large glass turned upside down {or other circular object that is about 4 inch in diameter} into the cream cheese spread in the center of the pizza crust}.
-
Add a ring of the chopped carrots around the cauliflower and follow with a ring of the yellow peppers around the outside. Cut into slices with a pizza cutter. {Anywhere from 8 to 16 slices works well depending on how big you would like the pieces.}
-
While you can serve this immediately, I prefer it chilled. Cover with Saran wrap and refrigerate for 1-2 hours prior to serving.
Crescent Roll Veggie Pizza Tips
- Warm the cream cheese in the microwave for 15-20 seconds to soften it up before mixing it with the sour cream. I find it easiest to use a spoon to spread it on the pizza dough and then smooth it out with a knife.
- If you like to prep ahead of time, bake the dough, mix the cream cheese and chop the veggies the day before your party. You will then just need to quickly assemble and chill on the day of.
- If you’re not a big fan of ranch seasoning, there are lots of different flavor combinations you can try. Dill, thyme, basil, parsley, rosemary, garlic – whatever you like! You could also try switching up the cream cheese flavor.
- I don’t like the crust to be too thick so I prick it with a fork about half way through baking time so it doesn’t rise as much.
- You can use shredded carrots instead of the chopped carrots. I just prefer the extra crunch! you could also add some shredded mozzarella cheese in with the cauliflower or some shredded cheddar cheese in with the carrots.
Let me know if you give these a try! I hope you enjoy!

Thanks Cassie!
Thank you so much for sharing the veggie pizza recipe! Two of my kids have Type 1 diabetes and it’s sometimes challenging to find lower-carb low-sugar options (that are still cute) for some festivities.
That must be so tricky especially at this time of year. Glad I could give you an idea for something fun!
Such a fun idea. And I love that it’s an alternative to all the sweets this time of year. Pinned 🙂

This looks amazing – my boys actually love their veggies, and I love that it’s Halloween themed but healthy, too!
Such a fun idea!
