Ingredients
Instructions

- Bake in a preheated oven at 325°F (165°C) for 15 minutes until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, consider using Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise for a lighter option. You can also substitute the vegetables based on what's in season—zucchini and bell peppers work great too. If you're short on time, pre-chopped veggies can speed up your prep. Pairing these wedges with a dip like Wonderful Cucumber Dip can enhance the flavors.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these vegetable wedges warm as an appetizer or party snack. They pair well with a fresh salad or Sherried Rice as a side dish for a light meal. You can also serve them with a variety of dips, or top them with extra shredded cheese and fresh tomatoes for added flavor.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover vegetable wedges in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or until warmed through. This helps maintain the crispiness of the crescent roll base.
