Plant-based pigs in a blanket

These easy plant-based pigs in a blanket are perfect for game day, a Friday night snack, or whenever you’re craving a bite of nostalgia. Savory plant-based hot dogs are wrapped in flaky crescent dough and baked until golden, so they’re quick to make and even easier to devour.

With just two main ingredients and about 25 minutes, they’re a simple crowd-pleaser for parties or a fun family snack. Tuck a slice of dairy-free cheese inside for a gooey upgrade, and serve them with your favorite dipping sauces.

Preparation Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

Calories: 270 Protein: 12 g
  • 1 (8-ounce) can refrigerated crescent rolls
  • 4 plant-based hot dogs
  • 2 slices vegan cheese (optional)

Preparation

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Prep the dough and hot dogs: Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into 8 triangles. Cut each hot dog in half crosswise.
  3. Add the cheese (optional): Cut each cheese slice into 4 strips and place one strip on the wide end of each triangle.
  4. Wrap: Place a hot dog half on the wide end of each triangle and roll it up toward the point. Place seam side down on the baking sheet.
  5. Bake: Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until golden brown. Let cool for a couple of minutes before serving.

Tips

  • Add a sweet and tangy layer: Before wrapping, brush the inside of each triangle with a mix of Dijon mustard and a splash of maple syrup.
  • Make them golden: Brush the tops with melted vegan butter or plant-based milk before baking for extra color and shine.
  • Make them bite-size: Cut each hot dog into thirds and each triangle in half lengthwise for party-size bites.
  • Serve with dips: Ketchup, mustard, or barbecue sauce all work well.
