Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the vegan puff pastry sheet into a 12x12 inch square.
In a medium bowl, mix together the vegan cheese shreds, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper.
Sprinkle the cheese mixture evenly over half of the rolled-out puff pastry square.
Fold the other half of the pastry over the filling, pressing gently to adhere.
Using a sharp knife, or a pizza cutter, slice the pastry into 1-inch wide strips.
Take each strip and gently twist several times, then place it onto the prepared baking sheet.
Brush each twist lightly with olive oil to help them crisp up and turn golden.
Bake the cheese twists in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and puffed.
Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
Serve warm as a snack or appetizer. Enjoy your flaky and delicious vegan cheese twists!
