Sriracha Veggie Pizza

IMG_4594

If you haven’t noticed by now, the last few posts I’ve done were mostly snack foods… And with Super Bowl around the corner, I wanted to give you all as many options as possible!

Not only is it almost game day, but we’re a few months aways from spring break (and summer right after that) – and you know what that means? More get-togethers, barbecues, graduations, and parties.

With these next few months approaching – especially with nicer weather – there are way more social gatherings happening. It’s awesome to have snack options like this one here to bring to someones house to ensure that you stay on track while also bringing something really tasty that everyone will enjoy!

Sriracha Veggie Pizza - Cooking Up Happiness

This Sriracha veggie pizza ain’t your typical veggie pizza… Made with a base of reduced-fat crescents (still buttery and delish!), with a protein-filled Sriracha ranch spread, and topped with your favorite veggies, you can’t go wrong with this one.

In other words – this is one veggie pizza that everyone will love 😉

TIP: If you don’t like spicy, just take out the Sriracha and chili powder and add a little more ranch seasoning (to taste).

Pair this veggie pizza with a great low calorie cold beer and your all set for your next event!
