Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Roll out the crescent roll dough onto a lightly greased baking sheet, pinching the seams together to form a single large sheet of dough.
Bake the crescent roll dough in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until it is golden brown. Remove it from the oven and allow it to cool completely.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, and dried dill. Mix until smooth and well blended.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled crescent roll crust.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the cream cheese layer.
Distribute the chopped broccoli florets, shredded carrot, diced red bell pepper, quartered cherry tomatoes, and sliced green onions evenly over the top, ensuring good coverage of colorful vegetables.
Gently press the vegetables into the cream cheese layer to ensure they stick.
Cover the tray with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
Once chilled, cut the crescent squares into 12 equal portions and serve. Enjoy!
