Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 can 8 oz refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 cup cooked spinach drained and finely chopped
- 1/2 cup artichoke hearts chopped
- 1/2 cup cream cheese softened
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese grated
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Optional Add-ins

Instructions
Preparation
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cooked spinach, chopped artichoke hearts, cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined to form a creamy filling.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles. Place a spoonful of the spinach artichoke filling in the center of each triangle. Fold the corners over the filling and seal the edges.
Serving
- Arrange the filled crescent bites on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
- Serve warm with your choice of dipping sauces such as marinara, ranch, or aioli.
Storage
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to maintain crispiness.
- Prepare the filling ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Assemble and bake when ready to serve.
