Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cans (8 oz each) crescent roll dough
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 0.25 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup (chopped) broccoli florets
- 0.33 cup (diced) red bell pepper
- 0.33 cup (diced) yellow bell pepper
- 0.25 cup (finely shredded) carrots
- 2 pieces (thinly sliced) green onion
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Unroll both cans of crescent roll dough and place the dough triangles on the prepared baking sheet. Arrange them in a large triangle shape to resemble a Christmas tree, overlapping the edges slightly and pressing them together to seal.
Bake the crescent roll dough for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet.
In a medium bowl, mix together the cream cheese, sour cream, dried dill, and garlic powder until smooth and well combined.
Once the crescent dough has cooled, spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the entire surface of the tree base.
Sprinkle the chopped broccoli, red bell peppers, yellow bell peppers, shredded carrots, and green onions over the cream cheese layer to decorate, mimicking ornaments on a Christmas tree.
Optional: Create a 'star' at the top of the tree using a small piece of yellow bell pepper cut into the shape of a star.
Transfer the festive Veggie Crescent Tree to a serving platter or cutting board. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
