Roll the crescent dough with cheese around the meatball and place it on the prepared baking sheet. Continue with all the rest of the meatballs.
Bush each crescent wrapped meatball with the melted butter completely coating it. Measure the garlic powder, parsley, and parmesan cheese in a small bowl and mix well.
Sprinkle the top of each butter coated meatball sub bites with the garlic parsley cheese mixture. Place the sheet pan in preheated oven and. bake for 12 to 14 minutes, until the crescent roll dough is golden brown.
