Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a standard muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease each cavity.
Unroll the crescent dough and separate into 16 triangles along the perforated lines.
In a medium bowl, beat together the granulated sugar, softened butter, orange zest, and salt until light, creamy, and well combined.
Spread a thin, even layer of the orange butter mixture over each triangle.
Starting from the wide (short) end, roll each triangle up into a crescent shape. Cut each rolled crescent into 4 equal pieces.
Place 3-4 pieces into each muffin cup.
Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until puffed and lightly golden brown.
While the bites bake, whisk together the powdered sugar and orange juice until smooth to create a glaze.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly, then drizzle or brush the glaze over the warm bites. Serve immediately.

Room Temp: Keep your orange rolls in an airtight container at room temp for up to 2 days. They're best freshly made, but they will still be tasty the next morning.
Fridge: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Freezer: Freeze unglazed rolls in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge, then warm and glaze before serving.
Reheating: Warm them in a 300°F oven for 5-8 minutes or microwave one roll for about 10-15 seconds. Don't overdo it or the crescent dough can get tough.
