Ingredients needed for Parmesan Crescent Rolls

1 tube refrigerated crescent dough
Butter, melted
Parmesan cheese
Garlic powder, oregano, and thyme to taste

How to make Parmesan Crescent Rolls:

Crescent roll dough rolled out into a rectangle

Pre heat oven to 350 degrees.
Pour half of the melted butter into the bottom of a 8×8″ baking pan.
Roll out the tube of dough and pinch all the seams together so that you have one sheet of dough (sometimes you can also buy a sheet of crescent dough – if your store has this available, I would totally recommend it!).

Parmesan cheese and seasoning on top of rolled out dough

Sprinkle half of the Parmesan cheese all over the dough. Lightly sprinkle garlic powder and Italian seasoning on the dough as desired.
Roll up the dough length-wise (like a long, skinny tube) and using a sharp knife, carefully slice the dough into 1″ pieces. You should get 8-9 pieces.

Crescent dough rolls placed in a baking dish

Place rolls (the dough slices) into the prepared baking sheet. Using a basting brush, brush remaining butter on top of rolls. Sprinkle remaining Parmesan cheese on top of rolls as well.
Bake for 11-13 minutes or until the tops of the rolls start to turn golden brown.

Add a little extra flavor to this super easy recipe:

For this recipe, I recommend using freshly shredded Parmesan cheese – I like to buy it from the deli at the grocery store and shred it myself.
You can buy pre-shredded Parmesan cheese and use it in this recipe, but I feel that the pre-shredded cheese doesn’t melt as nice as freshly shredded cheese does.
If you want to use homemade dough you can find a Crescent Roll Recipe HERE.
Try using garlic butter in place of regular butter and some fresh herbs.
If you want to add protein shredded chicken would be great inside these rolls.
