Crescent Roll Veggie Bars Ingredients:
Bread Base:
- 2 packages (8 ounces each / 226 grams each) refrigerated crescent rolls
Cheese and Cream:
- 1 package (8 ounces / 226 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) sour cream
- 1/2 cup (56 grams) shredded cheddar cheese
Seasonings and Vegetables:
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups (300 grams) assorted chopped vegetables (like bell peppers, broccoli, carrots, and cucumbers)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a 13×9-inch baking pan with light grease.
- Carefully unroll crescent roll dough, stretching it to completely cover the pan’s bottom, meticulously pressing and sealing all seams to create an even crust.
- Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes until achieving a golden-brown color, then remove and allow to cool completely at room temperature.
- While crust cools, combine cream cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, dill, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl, whisking until achieving a silky, uniform texture.
- Once crust has reached room temperature, generously spread the cream cheese mixture across the entire surface, ensuring an even layer.
- Finely chop assorted vegetables like bell peppers, cucumbers, broccoli, and carrots into consistent, small pieces.
- Distribute the chopped vegetables uniformly across the cream cheese layer, creating a colorful and vibrant vegetable landscape.
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the vegetable layer, covering the surface with a light, even coating.
- Refrigerate the prepared dish for a minimum of 1 hour to allow flavors to meld and set.
- Slice into square portions and serve chilled as a refreshing appetizer or light snack.
Notes
- Swap crescent roll dough with gluten-free alternatives for those with wheat sensitivities.
- Use low-fat cream cheese and Greek yogurt to create a lighter, healthier version of the appetizer.
- Finely dice vegetables to ensure even distribution and consistent texture across each bar.
- Customize vegetable toppings based on seasonal availability or personal preference, allowing for endless flavor combinations.
