My favorite part about this simple recipe is that it’s made with just a handful of ingredients. To make these spinach artichoke bites for your next party, you’ll need:

  • Crescent roll dough– Since you’ll be rolling the dough into crescent shapes, make sure to use the pre-cut rolls and not crescent dough sheets
  • Cream cheese – you can use full-fat or low-fat cream cheese
  • Parmesan cheese – or use a mix of parmesan and mozzarella cheese if you prefer
  • Frozen spinach– thawed and squeezed dry to remove excess water (more on that below)
  • Artichoke hearts– Feel free to leave them out if you don’t care for artichokes
  • Minced Garlic– One clove of garlic, minced (about ½ teaspoon). Garlic powder could be used instead in a pinch.
  • Butter– for brushing the tops of the crescents before baking
  • Dried parsley– also called parsley flakes

How to Make Spinach Stuffed Crescent Rolls

This section shows you how to make the recipe with step-by-step photos and instructions. For the full printable recipe, see the recipe card below. 

To make your own spinach stuffed rolls, just follow these three quick steps:

Step 1: Prepare the spinach and artichokes. Remove excess liquid from your thawed spinach by placing it on a paper-towel-lined plate and pressing another paper towel on the top of the spinach to soak up the extra liquid. Repeat until all the excess liquid has been removed. This will prevent the filling inside your crescent rolls from becoming watery. Next, prepare the artichoke hearts by draining the water from the can and then finely chop the artichoke hearts. Finally, line a baking sheet or cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

Step 2: Mix the spinach and cream cheese filling. Add the prepped spinach and artichokes to a medium bowl. Combine the veggies with the cream cheese, parmesan cheese, and garlic. Stir to thoroughly mix all the ingredients together.

Step 3: Stuff and bake the crescent rolls. Spread a thin layer of the spinach mixture over the top of each of your crescent roll dough triangles, making sure it’s covered from end to end. Then, roll the crescent triangles up into a crescent shape starting with the wide end of each triangle and ending with the shortest side. Brush each roll with butter and top it with a sprinkle of dried parsley. Bake the spinach crescents according to the package instructions. Most crescent rolls should be baked at 375° F for 9 to 14 minutes.

Recipe FAQ

Can I use fresh spinach in this recipe?

You can easily substitute fresh spinach in place of frozen spinach in this recipe. Before adding the fresh spinach leaves to the bowl, finely chop the leaves and remove the stems. Then, mix the spinach directly into the bowl with the rest of the filling ingredients.

Can I make them without artichokes?

Yes! If you aren’t a fan of artichoke hearts feel free to make your spinach dip crescent rolls without them.
