Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 9 oz frozen spinach
- 1 teaspoon canola oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- ½ large yellow onion, diced
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 package vegan puff pastry dough
- ⅓ cup vegan feta cheese, crumbled
Instructions
- Cook the Spinach: In a large pot, bring water to a boil and cook the frozen spinach until it is soft. Drain well and squeeze out any excess water to prevent sogginess in the pinwheels.
- Sauté Onion and Garlic: Heat canola oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic and sauté until translucent and golden, about 5-7 minutes. Add a splash of water if the ingredients start to brown too quickly to avoid burning.
- Mix Filling: Combine the drained spinach with the sautéed onion and garlic mixture. Season with ¼ teaspoon salt and let the filling cool completely to avoid melting the puff pastry prematurely.
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) to prepare for baking the pinwheels.
- Roll and Fill Pastry: Roll out the vegan puff pastry on a flat surface. Spread the cooled spinach mixture evenly over the puff pastry, leaving the bottom quarter of the pastry empty. Sprinkle crumbled vegan feta cheese on top of the spinach filling.
- Form Pinwheels: Carefully roll the puff pastry from the filled side into a log shape, sealing the edge as you go. Once rolled, cut the log into approximately 1 cm thick slices, yielding about 20 pinwheels.
- Bake: Place the pinwheel slices on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and puffed.
- Serve: Allow pinwheels to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these flavorful vegan treats warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Make sure to thoroughly squeeze out excess water from the spinach to prevent soggy pastry.
- If vegan puff pastry is unavailable, check that any puff pastry you use is dairy-free to keep the recipe vegan.
- These pinwheels can be served warm or at room temperature, making them great for parties.
- For a gluten-free option, consider using gluten-free puff pastry if available.
- Feel free to add herbs like dill or parsley for extra flavor.
