Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Thaw the dairy-free puff pastry sheet according to the package instructions until pliable.
Melt the dairy-free butter in a small saucepan over low heat, and then stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until well combined. Set aside.
Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8 inch thick. Try to maintain a rectangular shape.
Brush the melted butter and spice mixture evenly over the rolled out puff pastry sheet.
Sprinkle the dairy-free shredded cheese evenly over half of the pastry sheet.
Fold the other half of the pastry sheet over the cheese-covered section and press down gently to seal.
Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, cut the folded pastry into strips approximately 1-inch wide.
Take each strip and gently twist them a few times, then place them on the prepared baking tray.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the twists are golden brown and crispy.
Allow the dairy-free cheese twists to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
