Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the baby spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper, then remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked spinach and crumbled dairy-free feta cheese.
Unroll the dairy-free puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Cut it into 6 equal triangles.
Place a spoonful of the spinach and feta mixture at the wide end of each triangle. Roll the pastry towards the pointed end to form a croissant shape. Gently curve the ends inward to create a crescent shape.
Transfer the croissants to the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with unsweetened almond milk to help them achieve a golden-brown color.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the croissants are flaky and golden brown.
Let the croissants cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
