Ingredients
- 8 pieces low sodium hot dogs
- 1 tube refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0 mustard for dipping (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Step 2
Open the tube of crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles according to the perforations.
Step 3
Cut each low sodium hot dog in half, giving you 16 pieces total.
Step 4
Place one hot dog half at the wide end of a dough triangle. Roll the hot dog in the dough towards the narrow end, tucking in the sides as needed.
Step 5
Place the rolled pigs in a blanket on the prepared baking sheet, spaced slightly apart.
Step 6
In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter, then stir in the garlic powder, dried parsley, and black pepper.
Step 7
Brush the butter mixture over the top of each pig in a blanket to add flavor and aid in browning.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and the hot dogs are heated through.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
Step 10
Serve warm with mustard or any preferred low sodium dipping sauce on the side.
