Detailed recipe steps
- Preheat the oven as directed on the crescent roll package. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll out crescent roll dough on a lightly dusted surface. Use a rolling pin to expand the size of the dough, while also hiding any seams in the dough. You want it to be a large sheet.
- Use a knife or pizza cutter to create 2” strips of dough.
- Set up foil carrot molds by using 2 fingers to shape the foil around. Pinch is closed at one end, to be the pointy part of the carrot.
- Spray foil carrot molds with cooking spray if desired.
- Form carrot shape with crescent roll dough strips by starting at the point of the foil carrot and wrapping the dough around to the top, overlapping as you go. Once you get to the top of the carrot, secure the dough to each other. Make sure the dough does not completely cover the widest part of the carrot shaped foil, because you’ll need to be able to reach the foil to remove it once the pastry is done cooling.
- Finally, whisk together egg whites and water. Brush on top of carrots, which will help them brown nicely and allow the sesame seeds (sprinkle them on now) to stick.
- Bake crescent roll carrot shaped pastries according to packaging, which for me was at 350 degrees F for 12-15 minutes. Pastry is done when cooked through and lightly browned.
- Remove from the oven and rest until cool enough to touch. Remove foil insides and stuff with your favorite fillings. (To do this, I pinch the foil and twist it until it releases from the carrot. In the Sip Bite Go recipe demonstration you’ll see I made carrot crescent rolls filled with chicken salad.
- Serve with fresh parsley poked in the open edge, to act as the green carrot top.
