Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Defrost the puff pastry sheets according to the package instructions, allowing them to become pliable but still cool to touch.
While the puff pastry is defrosting, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the spinach and cook until wilted, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the vegan cream cheese, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Stir in the cooked spinach until well combined with the cheese mixture.
Unroll the defrosted puff pastry sheets on a clean surface. Spread the spinach and cheese mixture evenly over each sheet.
Roll each sheet tightly into a log, starting from one of the longer sides.
Using a sharp knife, cut each log into 1-inch (2.5 cm) wide pinwheels and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the pinwheels are golden brown and the pastry is cooked through.
Allow to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before serving warm. Enjoy your vegan cheese and spinach pinwheels!
