One of the things I get asked all the time is about teaching kids to eat their veggies in a fun and easy way. And by “fun and easy” I mean anything that doesn’t involve threatening to throw away a favorite toy. Over the years I have noticed that my kiddos are 1000X more likely eat their veggies if they are in charge of what goes onto their plate. My solution is to get them involved in the meal process. That means they will be much more likely to be excited and willing to try it. Which hugely increases their chances to actually enjoy it!
My hints for making this work:
- Start at the grocery store – Make it a game to see who can find ingredients for each color
- Have kiddos help you wash and dice (if age appropriate) the produce
- Have your kiddos help to roll out the pizza dough
- Make it a rule that everyone (yes, even mom and dad!) have to choose at least one thing from each color
I recommend you use parchment paper for this meal! The parchment paper will help you to roll out the pizza dough easily. It will help you to easily transfer your rainbow veggie pizza creation from the counter to the oven to the table. Plus it makes an easily disposable plate!

What a fun meal idea! Get the kiddos in the kitchen to make their own pizzas! How fun! I love the rainbow veggie idea for adults too. I'm thinking these could be great appetizers at parties with friends! Saving this recipe to use later!

My kids are going to LOVE these!! We have pizza night most friday night, and they love getting involved in making their own. I am sure they will be even more excited adding lots of rainbow veg :) Oh and I totally agree - kids are definitely more inclined to eat their veg if they are involved in the process!

I absolutely love that you've gotten the whole family involved in making this recipe. Inviting kids to help in the kitchen is such a great way to get them interested in what they're eating (and, as you noted, actually eating their veggies!) and a wonderful opportunity to foster creativity. I would dive into a rainbow veggie pizza myself! So fresh and delicious!

PRETTY! OK this totally looks like a great way to get a grown up kid (me) to eat his vegetables. Basically you just gotta put it on a pizza and I'll eat it.
