Ingredients

• 2 cans (8 oz each) Refrigerated crescent roll dough
• 8 oz Cream cheese
• 1/2 cup Mayonnaise
• 1 packet (1 oz) Dry ranch dressing mix
• 1 cup (finely chopped) Broccoli florets
• 1 cup (finely chopped) Cauliflower florets
• 1/2 cup (shredded) Carrots
• 1 small (diced) Red bell pepper
• 1 cup (shredded) Cheddar cheese

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Unroll the crescent roll dough cans and press the dough into a large, ungreased 10x15-inch baking sheet or jelly roll pan. Make sure to press the seams together to form a single sheet.

Step 3

Bake the crescent roll crust in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until it is golden brown. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.

Step 4

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, mayonnaise, and dry ranch dressing mix. Blend until smooth and creamy.

Step 5

Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled crescent roll crust.

Step 6

Top the cream cheese layer with the chopped broccoli, chopped cauliflower, shredded carrots, diced red bell pepper, and shredded cheddar cheese, spreading the toppings evenly across the surface.

Step 7

Press the toppings down gently to help them adhere to the cream cheese layer.

Step 8

Cut the veggie bars into 24 squares or rectangles for serving. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
