Equipment
- Oven
- Baking Sheet
- Foil
- Mixing Bowl
- Sharp Knife
- Measuring Cups
Ingredients
- 1 package crescent roll dough 8 ounce
- Chicken salad (or any other filling of your choice)
- Sprigs of parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that your Crescent Roll Carrots bake evenly and achieve that perfect golden color.
- In a mixing bowl, combine your chicken salad or any other filling you prefer. Make sure it’s well mixed and seasoned to your liking.
- Open the package of crescent roll dough and carefully unroll it. You will find perforated triangles that will shape your carrots. Gently separate the triangles and lay them out on a clean surface.
- Using a sharp knife, trim the wide end of the triangle to create a more carrot-like shape. Make them as short or long as you prefer.
- Place a spoonful of your filling at the base of each triangle. Be careful not to overfill, as this can lead to messy baking.
- Starting from the base, roll the dough up towards the pointed end, ensuring that the filling is tucked inside. This will create a beautiful carrot shape.
- Lay a piece of foil on your baking sheet, then arrange the rolled crescent carrots on top. This will help them keep their shape while baking and make cleanup easier.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Keep an eye on them, as oven times may vary.
- Once baked, remove the Crescent Roll Carrots from the oven and let them cool slightly. Garnish each one with a sprig of parsley for an extra pop of color and flavor. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- Do not overfill the dough to prevent bursting during baking.
- Use non-stick cooking spray on foil to avoid sticking.
- Freeze unbaked rolls wrapped tightly for up to 3 months; bake from frozen adding a few extra minutes.
