Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets Vegan puff pastry sheets
- 1 cup Dairy-free cream cheese
- 3 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 2 cups Fresh spinach
- 2 cloves Fresh garlic
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Unsweetened almond milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Thaw the vegan puff pastry sheets according to package instructions.
In a pan over medium heat, add olive oil. Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the pan, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the fresh spinach to the garlic and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the dairy-free cream cheese, nutritional yeast, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth.
Add the spinach and garlic mixture to the cream cheese blend and stir well to combine.
Unroll the thawed puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Spread half the cheese and spinach mixture evenly over each sheet.
Roll each pastry sheet tightly into a log, starting from the longer side. Use a sharp knife to slice each log into approximately 1-inch thick wheels.
Place the pinwheels cut side down on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about an inch apart.
Brush the tops of the pinwheels with unsweetened almond milk to promote browning.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let the pinwheels cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm as a delightful dairy-free treat!
