These flaky crescent roll carrots are buttery, golden pastries wrapped around tender carrot shapes, perfect for easy homemade appetizers that delight both kids and adults.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (8 oz / 227 g) refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 4 large carrots, peeled and trimmed into carrot-like shapes (about 3–4 inches long)
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley or chives, for garnish
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. Peel and trim your carrots into carrot-like shapes about 3 to 4 inches long and roughly 1/2 inch thick at the widest end. Keep shapes uniform for even baking.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, cinnamon, and salt to make the buttery glaze.
  4. Unroll the crescent dough and separate into triangles along the perforations. Trim each triangle into a shape that can wrap nicely around your carrot pieces, with a slightly wider base tapering to a point.
  5. Brush each triangle lightly with the butter mixture. Place a carrot shape near the wider end and roll up towards the tip, pinching the edges gently to seal. Place each wrapped carrot seam side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Brush the assembled crescent roll carrots with beaten egg for a golden finish.
  7. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and flaky. Check around 12 minutes to prevent over-browning.
  8. Let the crescent roll carrots cool on a rack for 5 minutes, then sprinkle finely chopped parsley or chives on top.

Notes

Chill the dough for 10-15 minutes if it feels too soft or sticky to keep layers distinct. Use fresh carrots for best texture. Avoid microwaving leftovers to keep pastry flaky; reheat in oven instead.
