Party Perfect Appetizer - Party Pesto Pinwheels

I recently found this easy and delicious appetizer - {Party Pesto Pinwheels} I have made this a few times and it is getting rave reviews - I thought I would share it today. It is great when you don't have a lot of time and will surely impress your friends! The thing I like about this appetizer is that it looks like more work than it is and taste great.

Simple ingredients - 1 jar roasted red peppers, jar pesto, seamless Crescent dough sheets, jar pizza sauce, Parmesan cheese. See the recipe below or print out recipe from Taste of Home.




Ingredients
1 tube (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent rolls (seamless if you can find it)
1/3 cup prepared pesto sauce
1/4 cup roasted sweet red peppers, drained and chopped
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup pizza sauce, warmed

Directions
Unroll crescent dough into two long rectangles; seal seams and perforations. Spread each with pesto; sprinkle with red peppers and Parmesan cheese.
Roll each up jelly-roll style, starting with a short side. With a sharp knife, cut each roll into 10 slices. Place cut side down 2 in. apart on two ungreased baking sheets.

Bake at 400° for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm with pizza sauce. Yield: 20 servings.

  5. These pinwheels are so festive looking, but I think I might eat the entire tray all by myself!
