- ⅛ teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
- ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions
Jalapeño Popper Rolls
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and lightly grease a large 9×13 baking dish.
- In a medium-sized bowl mix together the jalapeños, cream cheese, cheese shreds, and tempeh bacon. Set aside.
- On a clean work surface or cutting board, roll out the crescent roll dough in one piece to form a large rectangle. Using your fingers, gently merge the seams together as best you can.
- Take half of the cream cheese filling and spread it over the crescent roll dough in an even layer, leaving about 1 inch of space on all sides.
- Carefully roll the dough starting on the short edge and pinch seam together. Using a sharp knife, cut the log into 6 even slices and add the rolls to the baking dish.
- Repeat this process with the second crescent roll dough so we have 12 rolls total.
- Place a sheet of parchment paper on top of rolls to flatten slightly. Remove parchment paper and place into the oven for 32-35 minutes, or until golden brown.
- While the rolls bake, prepare the cilantro lime sauce.
Cilantro Lime Sauce
- Mix all ingredients together in a bowl until combined. For a thinner sauce add 1-2 teaspoons of water and mix through.
- Once Jalapeño Popper Rolls have cooled, drizzle generously with the sauce and enjoy.
Notes
- Crescent Rolls: Believe it or not, most canned crescent rolls are accidentally vegan! Brands like Pillsbury and Immaculate Baking Co. both have options. We still recommend checking the label, just in case.
- Vegan Cream Cheese: We like using Kite Hill or Tofutti brand cream cheese, but any non-dairy plain cream cheese will suffice.
- Mozzarella Style Shreds: We used Follow Your Heart shreds, but Violife, Daiya, and Miyoko’s also have mozzarella style shreds. If you want to use cheddar style shreds, they would work great as well.
- Vegan Bacon: We used our tempeh bacon recipe, but you could really use any vegan bacon product you’d like.
- Jalapeños: The more seeds you include, the spicer your rolls will be, so prepare them accordingly! If you are not a fan of jalapeños, bell peppers would also be great in this!
