Equipment
- Frying Pan
- Oven
- Baking Sheet
Ingredients
- 1 package Crescent roll dough
- 1 cup Chicken salad
- to taste Parsley Fresh sprigs for garnish.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. It’s important to get your oven nice and hot before baking the rolls, as this helps create that golden, crispy exterior.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will prevent the rolls from sticking and make for an easier clean-up.
- Take your foil and roll sections into wide cones. These will form the shape of the carrots, so make sure they’re secure and not too tight.
- Unwrap the crescent dough and roll the seams together to create a solid piece. This ensures that the filling stays inside during baking.
- Cut the dough into 8 strips. Make sure each strip is even, so they cook uniformly.
- Starting at the bottom of each foil cone, wrap the dough around in a spiral motion, shaping it into a cone. This will give your rolls their distinct carrot shape.
- Place the rolled cones onto the prepared baking sheet. Leave some space between them to allow for rising.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until they’re golden brown. Keep an eye on them to avoid over-baking!
- Once they’re done, remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool slightly. This step is crucial, as it gives the filling time to set.
- Finally, fill each cone with your chicken salad or desired filling. Garnish with a sprig of parsley on top to complete the look of your Crescent Roll Carrots.
Notes
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. When ready to eat, reheat in the oven to retain their crispy texture.
- Freezing: You can freeze unbaked rolls for up to a month. Just wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and foil. Bake directly from frozen, adding extra time.
- Pairing: These rolls pair wonderfully with a side salad or a light soup for a complete meal.
- Make it vegetarian: Substitute chicken salad with a veggie mix for a meat-free option. You can use cream cheese and herbs for a delightful filling.
- Presentation: Use colorful fillings to make the rolls visually appealing for parties and gatherings.
