Step-by-Step Instructions for Crab Crescent Bites
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Unroll the crescent rolls and carefully separate them into eight triangles.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, crab meat, green onions, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth.
  4. Take a tablespoon of the crab mixture and place it at the wide end of each dough triangle. Roll towards the pointed end.
  5. Pinch the corners to seal the filling inside and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  6. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the tops of each crescent roll.
  7. Bake for 12–15 minutes until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
  8. Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
