Asparagus and Pepper Stromboli

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.

Ok, I’ve been reading food blogs for 2 months now, and this one gets my ranking of # ONE. I am not exaggerating. I am so excited to find this. Pictures, instructions – amazing. I love the Notes section. I like the explanations – it’s natually pleasing to me. Why did I not encounter this site earlier?!!! And with a son who’s allergic to eggs, this’s such a great find for me!!!! –Deepa
[...] top of baked vegetable dishes. And in soups. Try this Bread Soup, from Twin Tables. Or a vegetarian Stromboli, from Madhuran’s Eggless [...]
hi madhu, really nice recipe..where can I find pillsbury pizza crust? is it a ready dough?
Yes it’s readymade pizza dough and is available in the refrigerator section next to butter and cheese in any chain of supermarkets.
Hi Madhuramm,
I have already registed in redchillies. That is the only one I could register as my blogsite is only 4 weeks old!!! Thanks for your comments and keep coming. I loved your stromboli with asparagus and pepper. Of course when you think of the permutations and combinations…sky is the limit!!!
regards, Shoba
this gave me and idea to make these fillings in corn muffins.. will try and let u know how it turns out
Nice recipe, will have to try it. Do you think I can substitute with other veggies like zucchini, brocoli, frozen corn or spinach? I am not a fan of asparagus. Can you cook the mixture on the stove top instead of the microwave? Thank You.
You could use any vegetable you like and cooking on stove top is fine too. I too hadn’t tasted asparagus before preparing this dish, so I was sort of reluctant. After tasting it I didn’t find it bad at all.
Hi
I made this yesterday.I did find it hard to work with the Pizza crust..it had a tendency to tear.
I made quite some changes to the recipe
I added chopped onions,olives and pesto.I somehow missed out the part about microwaving the veggies and draining the liquid(I guess I was too busy drooling at your pictures!)So some parts got a bit soggy but it tasted great.I cut it into chunks and it was all devoured by my kids and hubby.I served it with Butternut squash and lima bean soup from the Holycow vegan blog.Next time I may skip the onions and tomatoes-maybe they release too much of their juices.I am going to add spring onion greens instead.This is a great recipe and I will definitely make it many more times.
Yes Geetha, the pizza dough has to be handled carefully. Thanks for giving it a try.
Hi, Can I use homemade basic pizza dough for this? If yes, what should be the size of rectangle?
Yes, you can, Sunila. The size could be about 13×9.
