Asparagus Wrapped in Crescent Rolls
Eating vegetables isn’t always the funnest part of the meal, but when you wrap asparagus in cheesy crescent rolls, it changes everything!
These asparagus crescent roll appetizers are perfect for parties, or as a side dish for any weeknight dinner. The dough gets covered in parmesan cheese, wrapped around asparagus, sprinkled with mozzarella cheese, and baked to perfection. Your kids definitely won’t mind eating their vegetables when they’re wrapped in cheesy bread!
I also like adding prosciutto into these asparagus puff pastry spirals for something extra classy (prosciutto makes everything classy, right?). Pair them with chicken and you’ve got a beautiful meal.
Asparagus wrapped in crescent rolls makes the perfect easy appetizer or side dish!
Cheesy Crescent Roll Appetizers
These crescent roll appetizer are so good, so flaky, so crisp, so delicious! They make a great complement to chicken or beef, and the kids will love them too.
For this recipe, each pre-cut crescent roll triangle from the can will be cut in half, essentially doubling the number of dough pieces you have. One piece of dough will be used for each asparagus stalk.
So if you want to make 8 asparagus crescent roll spirals, you’ll use half a can of pre-made crescent rolls. If you want to make 16 (approximately 4-6 servings), you’ll use an entire 8 oz tube.
Asparagus Prosciutto Spirals
Like I said earlier, I really love turning these into asparagus and prosciutto crescent spiral from time to time. It adds even more flavor, and makes them feel like a fancy appetizer. They go well with our Prosciutto Wrapped Chicken, Creamy Swiss Chicken Bake, or Spinach Stuffed Chicken.
To add prosciutto into the recipe, just lay a slice of it out on each crescent roll wedge before wrapping the asparagus.

How to Make Asparagus Crescent Roll Spirals
This recipe is so easy (and fun) to make. All you need is a can of crescent roll dough, asparagus, Parmesan and Mozzarella cheese, and proscioutto if you want to add that in too.
To Make:
- Cut each crescent roll wedge in half (you’ll use one piece of dough per asparagus).
- Next, put your parmesan and seasoning salt into a bowl and mix them together.
- Before wrapping the asparagus in the dough, coat each piece of dough in the parmesean mixture (coat both sides generously).
- Now wrap the asparagus in the parmesean crusted crescent roll wedges. (Add a slice of proscuitto in here if you want.) Start the tip of the crescent roll wedge at the top of the asparagus stalk, and wrap the asparagus while twisting to create a spiral.
- Place them on a foil lined baking sheet. sprinkle with the excess parmesean cheese, and some shredded mozzarella cheese too, if desired (I can never get enough cheese!).
- Bake at 350°F for 13-15 minutes (follow directions on crescent roll package).
I absolutely love how easy it is to make these cheesy asparagus crescent roll appetizers for any meal!

Nutrition Information
Two tablespoons (tbs) of seasoned salt seem like a lot for 8 rolls. Do you mean two teaspoons (tsp)? Parmesan and prosciutto have a fair amount of salt by themselves.
Yes, use two teaspoons!
Hello Becky
I’ve been reading your recipes and they all sound and look delicious. Thanks for sharing these. I’ll be trying the asparagus rolls tonight with the BBQ ???? CHICKEN Legs. I made the 50 star ⭐️ legs night before last (so delish). In the process I discovered what a great broth it made while they were in the oven so being like my Mother I saved it to make mashed potatoes with REAL CHICKEN GRAVY! This will be my 2nd side for dinner tonight. I’m going to make the legs buffaloed tonight. For the gravy I’ll thicken the broth with cornstarch and at the end of cooking add just a bit of milk and Butter. Everything is better with butter and bacon which I have 2 slices left from breakfast that I will crumble and add just before serving. I always have to put my own spin on every recipe. Again just like momma LOL. Keep up the fun and easy recipes. You inspire me to start my own posts. (If I can figure out how to do it ????). I’ve created 2 recipe books (using photo book apps and of course my pics of each dish & family pics) for my family (kids) so one day when they think back of there favs they will know how there Momma did it. ME.???? They have made great Christmas keepsakes that all have liked. Thanks
Aww that’s great to hear, Regina!
Is it ok to put garlic powder if the croissants aren’t garlic flavor?
