When you are short on time, whip up a batch of these Parmesan crescent rolls using a can of crescent roll dough. They are the perfect side dish that is ready in minutes and a great way to use up that Crescent Shape Dough.
Recipe Ingredient Notes
To make our Parmesan crescent rolls, you need the following ingredients:
- Refrigerated crescent dough
- Butter
- Parmesan cheese
- Garlic powder
- Italian seasoning


Equipment Needed
For this recipe, you only need a few simple kitchen tools. We recommend using the following equipment: Baking Dish (8 Inch Square).
How to Make Parmesan Crescent Rolls
- Preheat oven to 350℉.
- 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!).
- 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.
- Place the dough slices into the prepared pan. 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.
Recipe Notes
- 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.
- 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.
