Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces low sodium hot dogs
- 1 tube refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- mustard for dipping (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Open the tube of crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles according to the perforations.
Cut each low sodium hot dog in half, giving you 16 pieces total.
Place one hot dog half at the wide end of a dough triangle. Roll the hot dog in the dough towards the narrow end, tucking in the sides as needed.
Place the rolled pigs in a blanket on the prepared baking sheet, spaced slightly apart.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter, then stir in the garlic powder, dried parsley, and black pepper.
Brush the butter mixture over the top of each pig in a blanket to add flavor and aid in browning.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and the hot dogs are heated through.
Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm with mustard or any preferred low sodium dipping sauce on the side.
