Ingredients You'll Need

Here's what you'll need – nothing too fancy, just good ingredients that work together beautifully.

  • 1 package Crescent roll dough (refrigerated)
  • 1 cup Broccoli florets (finely chopped)
  • 1/2 cup Carrots (finely diced)
  • 1/2 cup Bell pepper (finely diced, any color)
  • 1/2 cup Cherry tomatoes (halved or quartered)
  • 1/2 cup Ranch dressing
  • 1/2 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon Everything bagel seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Onion powder

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures the crescent rolls bake evenly and achieve a golden-brown color. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.

    ~2 min

  2. 2

    In a medium bowl, combine the finely chopped broccoli florets, diced carrots, diced bell pepper, and halved or quartered cherry tomatoes. Ensure the vegetables are chopped small enough to fit easily inside the crescent rolls and cook through evenly.

    ~5 min

  3. 3

    Add the ranch dressing, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, and onion powder to the vegetable mixture. Mix well to ensure all the vegetables are evenly coated in the ranch dressing and spices, creating a cohesive and flavorful filling.

    ~3 min

  4. 4

    Unroll the crescent roll dough on a clean, flat surface. Separate the dough into individual triangles, following the perforations. Work gently to avoid tearing the dough.

    ~2 min

  5. 5

    Spoon a generous amount of the vegetable and ranch mixture onto the wide end of each crescent roll triangle. Be careful not to overfill, as this could cause the filling to leak out during baking.

    ~3 min

  6. 6

    Starting at the wide end, roll each crescent roll up towards the point. Gently stretch the dough as you roll to create a tighter seal and prevent the filling from escaping.

    ~2 min

  7. 7

    Place the rolled crescent rolls on the prepared baking sheet, seam-side down. This helps to prevent them from unrolling during baking.

    ~1 min

  8. 8

    Brush the tops of the crescent rolls with a little melted butter or milk for a richer color (optional). This gives them a glossy finish and enhances browning.

    ~1 min

  9. 9

    Sprinkle the tops of the crescent rolls with everything bagel seasoning. This adds a savory, crunchy topping that complements the flavors inside.

    ~1 min

  10. 10

    Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and the filling is heated through. The tops should be a deep golden brown, and the dough should be cooked through.

    ~17 min

  11. 11

    Let the crescent rolls cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack. This prevents them from sticking and allows the filling to set slightly.

    ~2 min

  12. 12

    Serve warm and enjoy! These are best enjoyed fresh from the oven when the dough is at its flakiest and the filling is warm and gooey.
