Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 batch Vegan croissant dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 cups Fresh spinach
- 1 cup Vegan feta cheese
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Plant-based milk (for brushing)
Instructions
Prepare the vegan croissant dough according to package instructions or make your own homemade vegan croissant dough ahead of time.
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper. Remove from the heat and let it cool slightly.
Crumble the vegan feta cheese and combine it with the cooked spinach mixture in a small bowl. Mix well and set aside.
Preheat the oven according to the croissant dough package instructions or to 375°F (190°C) if using homemade dough.
Roll out the croissant dough on a lightly floured surface and cut it into 8 triangles.
Place a spoonful of the spinach and feta mixture at the base of each triangle. Roll the dough up from the base to the tip, forming the classic croissant shape.
Place the croissants on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving enough space between them to expand.
Brush the tops of the croissants with plant-based milk for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the croissants are golden brown and flaky.
Allow the croissants to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
