Flaky Spinach Pastry Wheels Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 1 ½ cups fresh spinach, finely chopped
- ½ cup dairy-free ricotta or cream cheese alternative
- ¼ cup nutritional yeast (for a cheesy flavor)
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp unsweetened plant milk (for brushing)
- Optional: Sesame seeds or everything bagel seasoning for topping
Method:
1. Preheat & Prep
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Make the Filling
In a skillet over medium heat, sauté garlic in olive oil for 1 minute until fragrant. Add chopped spinach and cook for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat and let cool.
In a bowl, mix the spinach, dairy-free ricotta, nutritional yeast, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper until well combined.
3. Roll & Spread
Unroll the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Spread the spinach mixture evenly over the pastry, leaving a small border around the edges.
4. Roll & Slice
Roll the pastry into a tight log, starting from the long side. Use a sharp knife to slice into 1-inch wheels.
5. Bake
Place the wheels on the prepared baking sheet, brush with plant milk, and sprinkle with sesame seeds or everything bagel seasoning.
Bake for 18-20 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
6. Serve & Enjoy
Let cool for a few minutes, then serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or alongside your Easter brunch spread!
How to Make Ahead & Store
Make Ahead: Prepare the rolls, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight. Slice and bake fresh the next day!
Freeze: Freeze unbaked wheels in an airtight container for up to 2 months. Bake straight from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
Store Leftovers: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for crispiness!
What to Serve With Spinach Pastry Wheels
Dips & Spreads: Try with hummus, dairy-free tzatziki, or roasted red pepper dip.
Brunch Pairings: Serve alongside a spring salad, fresh fruit, and a citrusy mocktail.
Easter Table Ideas: Add them to your Easter appetizer board with crudité, nuts, and dips.
