These carrot veggie bars feature a flaky crescent roll crust, a creamy ranch-flavored spread, and a crunchy veggie topping. They are perfect for Easter gatherings, parties, and a fun way to encourage kids to eat more vegetables. Simple, delicious, and easy to make!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (8 oz) crescent roll seamless dough sheet
  • 6 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • ½ package (4 tsp) Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing mix
  • 1 ½ cups shredded carrots
  • 1 ½ cups chopped broccoli

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Roll out crescent dough onto the baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes until golden. Let it cool completely.
  • In a bowl, mix cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, and ranch seasoning until smooth.
  • Spread the mixture evenly over the cooled crust.
  • Cut the crust into 4 long strips, then slice each strip into 5 triangles (total of 20 pieces).

  • Place chopped broccoli at the wider end of each triangle to resemble carrot tops.
  • Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving.
