I saw this recipe in Parents magazine. The original recipe was not completely vegetarian, so I changed it a little bit.

| Vegetarian Stromboli Recipe |
Prep time: 25 Mins
Cook time: 25 Mins
Yields: 24 Slices
Easy to prepare vegetarian Stromboli using refrigerated pizza dough, asparagus and yellow pepper.
Ingredients:
- 1 Cup Sliced Asparagus (Approximately 10-12 Spears)
- 1 Cup Yellow Peeper, Diced (1 Medium Size)
- 2 Seeded And Chopped Plum Tomatoes (I Used 1/4 Cup Of Crushed Tomatoes Instead)
- 1 Clove Minced Garlic (I Used 2 Cloves)
- 1 Teaspoon Olive Oil
- 1/2 Teaspoon Salt
- As Needed Italian Seasoning
- 1/4 Teaspoon Pepper (Not Mentioned In The Original Recipe)
- 1 Refrigerated Pizza Tube (I Used Pillsburry Pizza Crust)
- 1 Cup Shredded Italian Blend Cheese (I Used Part Skim Pizza Blend Cheese)

Procedure:
- Heat oven to 400F/200C for 15 minutes.
- In a glass bowl, combine asparagus, peepers, tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, salt, Italian seasoning and pepper.
- Mix them well and here is how it looks:
- Cover and microwave for 4 minutes, stirring once in the middle. Let cool 5 minutes. Drain off excess liquid. (But I did not have any excess liquid)
- Unroll pizza dough onto baking sheet and shape into a rectangle.
- Place half of cheese onto bottom third of dough along its length.
- Spread veegie filling onto cheese.
- Top with remaining cheese.
- Roll up to shape stromboli (into a log).
- Bake for 25 minutes.
- Let cool 5 minutes before slicing and serving.










Taste:
- I got around 23 pieces for this measurement. My husband and I loved it. A different twist to the regular pizza.
My Notes:
- This was a bit salty, so you may want to increase the amount of pepper if you want it spicy.
- I suggest to cool the baked Stromboli even for 10 minutes, so that slicing will not be difficult and you will also get neat slices.

YUM! I love cheese and Pepperoni Strombolis. Asparagus and veggies looks great too. Yeah, always have to cut them, hate that part!
Hi madhuram,
I have not been geeting your updates in my mailing list.
Hi…
Stromboli look so good. I had it once in a pastry shop. But never tried it. Loved to try ur version. YUM!….
I love Asparagus and veg stromboli version Madhu. They re well presented to tempt me
Very creative use of Asparagus.
I love trying non-Indian vegetables (like, asparagus, celery, artichoke) but hardly know any good, Indianized recipes to use them
Loved this Stromboli. With summer vacations coming up ( and my daughter demanding for different kind of food) this would be a nice recipe to try. Great for picnics too.
Looks delicous….
Lovely recipe…..looks so delicious,nicely presented.
Will definitely try this Madhu..Love it very much
Looks yummy.i have a question.After the oven is preheated to 400 degrees,should we leave the oven on for the 25 minutes when the stromboli is being cooked?.Should i also use a baking sheet or is it ok to put the dough directly on the baking tray.
Thanks,
Anila.
