A delightful twist on a classic appetizer, these cheesy asparagus crescent rolls are perfect for brunch or a light snack.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using parchment paper makes cleanup easier and prevents sticking.
Trim the tough ends off the asparagus, leaving the tender parts.
Bend the asparagus gently to find the natural breaking point for the tough ends.
Steam the asparagus for about 3-4 minutes until crisp-tender.
Avoid over-steaming to maintain a slight crunch in the asparagus.
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate into individual triangles.
Keep the dough refrigerated until use to make it easier to handle.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese, crispy bacon bits, and chopped green onion onto each triangle.
Distribute the toppings evenly for consistent flavor in each roll.
Place an asparagus spear on each triangle and roll up from the wide end to the tip.
Roll tightly to ensure the fillings stay inside during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
Check the rolls halfway through baking to ensure even browning.
Serve warm and enjoy your cheesy asparagus crescent rolls.
Pair with a dipping sauce like ranch or honey mustard for added flavor.
