Snail Pesto Pinwheels – Appetizer for Kids
Your kids are going to just love these Snail Pesto Pinwheels for a fun appetizer and this 4 ingredient recipe is SO easy to make! My boys had fun creating these little guys and said they tasted amazing! We adapted a Red Gold Tomatoes recipe that you can find here and put our fun twist on it. We have really enjoyed being Red Gold blog ambassadors and my family loves their products for so many reasons!
You can check out our previous Red Gold challenge that my boys took and see the results HERE. They were so surprised with the difference between brands of tomatoes…it’s a BIG difference! My boys were never fans of tomatoes until they tried Red Gold & now they love tomatoes and these cute little snails just make eating tomatoes extra fun!
Snail Pesto Pinwheels
- 1 (8 ounce) can refrigerator crescent rounds
- 1/3 cup pesto, homemade or purchased
- 1 (14.5 ounce) can Red Gold® Petite Diced Tomatoes with Garlic & Olive Oil, drained
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
Preheat the oven to 350. Pull off one of the strips from your crescents….
Spread a spoon full of pesto on the top…
Open up your can of Red Gold tomatoes and spoon about 8 tomatoes on top of the pesto like this…
Sprinkle with parmesan cheese…
Roll the crescent strip up like this…
Cut a V shape out of the end like this…
Place your snails onto a baking sheet twisting the end like this…
Bake for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned. Stand them up while they are still a bit warm so the bottoms will have a flat surface before they cool…
We added little eyes using a sour cream with a toothpick & little pieces of black olives. They look just a cute without them as well!
Here is a close up…
We had so much fun making these cute snails & they would be super cute for a Spring brunch or party!
