Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 pieces Lil Smokies
- 1 can Refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Parsley (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar (optional, for glaze)
- 1 tablespoon Honey (optional, for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into the pre-cut triangles.
Cut each triangle into 3 smaller strips to create smaller pieces of dough.
Place one Lil Smokie at the wide end of a dough strip and roll it up tightly. Repeat with the remaining sausages and dough.
Arrange the wrapped Lil Smokies on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a bit of space between each one.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat and stir in the garlic powder. Brush this mixture over each wrapped Smokie to add flavor and assist with browning.
Optional glaze: In a separate small bowl, mix brown sugar and honey. Drizzle lightly over the assembled Smokies if you prefer a sweet flavor profile.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown.
Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley for a pop of color if desired.
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces, such as ketchup, mustard, or barbecue sauce.
