Ingredients
Scale
For the Crescent Rolls
- 2 cans crescent roll dough
For the Garlic Butter
- 3 tbsp melted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp chopped parsley
For Garnish
- Grated parmesan cheese, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it is ready for baking the crescent rolls.
- Shape the Dough: Unroll the crescent dough and cut it into strips. Twist and arrange the strips on a baking sheet to form the shape of a Christmas tree.
- Bake the Rolls: Place the shaped dough in the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
- Prepare Garlic Butter: While the rolls bake, mix the melted butter with minced garlic and chopped parsley to create a flavorful garlic butter blend.
- Brush and Garnish: Once the crescent rolls are done baking, remove them from the oven and immediately brush generously with the garlic butter mixture. Then sprinkle grated parmesan cheese over the top while warm.
- Serve Warm: Serve the Christmas Tree Crescent Rolls warm as a festive appetizer or side dish during your holiday meals.
Notes
- For an extra festive look, use small pieces of bell pepper or olives as decorations on the crescent roll Christmas tree.
- Make sure to brush the garlic butter immediately after baking so it soaks well into the rolls.
- Use fresh parsley for the best flavor and vibrant color.
- Adjust the amount of garlic to taste if you prefer a milder or stronger garlic flavor.
- These can be prepared a little in advance; reheat briefly in the oven before serving to refresh the crispiness.
