Ingredients
- 2 cans (8 oz each) crescent roll dough
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 0.25 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup (chopped) broccoli florets
- 0.33 cup (diced) red bell pepper
- 0.33 cup (diced) yellow bell pepper
- 0.25 cup (finely shredded) carrots
- 2 pieces (thinly sliced) green onion
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Unroll both cans of crescent roll dough and place the dough triangles on the prepared baking sheet. Arrange them in a large triangle shape to resemble a Christmas tree, overlapping the edges slightly and pressing them together to seal.
Step 3
Bake the crescent roll dough for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet.
Step 4
In a medium bowl, mix together the cream cheese, sour cream, dried dill, and garlic powder until smooth and well combined.
Step 5
Once the crescent dough has cooled, spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the entire surface of the tree base.
Step 6
Sprinkle the chopped broccoli, red bell peppers, yellow bell peppers, shredded carrots, and green onions over the cream cheese layer to decorate, mimicking ornaments on a Christmas tree.
Step 7
Optional: Create a 'star' at the top of the tree using a small piece of yellow bell pepper cut into the shape of a star.
Step 8
Transfer the festive Veggie Crescent Tree to a serving platter or cutting board. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
