Delight in the irresistible flavors of these Gluten-Free Spinach Pie Rolls, a savory twist on a classic spinach pie that’s perfect for healthy snacking or entertaining. These golden, flaky rolls start with a tender gluten-free dough made from all-purpose gluten-free flour and Greek yogurt, creating the perfect vessel for a rich, cheesy filling of sautéed spinach, crumbled feta, Parmesan, and garlic. With a simple roll-and-slice technique, these pinwheel-style bites come together effortlessly and bake to perfection in just 30 minutes. Topped with a glossy egg wash and a sprinkle of optional sesame seeds for added crunch, they’re as visually stunning as they are delicious. Serve these gluten-free appetizers warm or at room temperature for a crowd-pleasing addition to your next party spread or cozy brunch.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large pan over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté the minced garlic for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the fresh spinach to the pan, stirring occasionally, until wilted. This should take about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked spinach, feta cheese, Parmesan cheese, and 1 egg. Mix well and set the filling aside.
In a separate large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, salt, and baking powder.
Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter in until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add the Greek yogurt and mix until the dough starts coming together. Knead gently with your hands to form a smooth dough.
Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the dough into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
Spread the spinach and cheese mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
Starting from one long edge, gently roll the dough into a tight log. Pinch the seam to seal the roll.
Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 1-inch rounds and place them cut side up on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk the remaining egg to make an egg wash. Brush the tops of the rolls with the egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds, if desired.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
