- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup grated carrot
- 1 cup finely chopped spinach
- 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper (any color)
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

Other:

- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Vegetable Filling: In a skillet, sauté onions and garlic, then add carrots, spinach, and bell pepper. Season with oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir in mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
- Assemble the Rolls: Unroll the dough, spoon vegetable mixture onto each piece, roll tightly, and place seam-side down on the baking sheet. Brush with beaten egg.
- Bake: Bake for 15–18 minutes until golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- You can customize the filling with your favorite vegetables like zucchini, mushrooms, or corn.
- Puff pastry yields a flakier texture, while crescent dough is softer and more bread-like.
