Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cans (8 oz each) Refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 1/2 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 packet (1 oz) Dry ranch dressing mix
- 1 cup (finely chopped) Broccoli florets
- 1 cup (finely chopped) Cauliflower florets
- 1/2 cup (shredded) Carrots
- 1 small (diced) Red bell pepper
- 1 cup (shredded) Cheddar cheese
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Unroll the crescent roll dough cans and press the dough into a large, ungreased 10x15-inch baking sheet or jelly roll pan. Make sure to press the seams together to form a single sheet.
Bake the crescent roll crust in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until it is golden brown. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, mayonnaise, and dry ranch dressing mix. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled crescent roll crust.
Top the cream cheese layer with the chopped broccoli, chopped cauliflower, shredded carrots, diced red bell pepper, and shredded cheddar cheese, spreading the toppings evenly across the surface.
Press the toppings down gently to help them adhere to the cream cheese layer.
Cut the veggie bars into 24 squares or rectangles for serving. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
