These vegan spinach puff pastry pinwheels are a flaky, savory snack filled with a creamy spinach and seed-based mixture, perfect for parties or healthy appetizers.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 sheet vegan puff pastry, thawed
  • 2 cups fresh spinach (or 1 cup thawed frozen spinach, squeezed dry)
  • 1/2 cup raw sunflower seeds or cashews
  • 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon non-dairy milk (for brushing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. In a food processor, blend the spinach, sunflower seeds (or cashews), nutritional yeast, olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth and spreadable. Scrape down sides as needed.
  3. Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Spread the spinach mixture evenly over the entire sheet.
  4. Starting from one long edge, roll the pastry into a tight log. Slice the roll into 1-inch rounds using a sharp knife.
  5. Place the rounds flat on the prepared baking tray. Brush the tops with a bit of non-dairy milk for a golden finish.
  6. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
  7. Let cool slightly before serving. Best enjoyed warm, with vegan yogurt dip or hummus on the side.

Notes

  • Ensure the puff pastry is fully thawed before using to prevent cracking.
  • Sunflower seeds provide a nut-free alternative to cashews.
  • These pinwheels can be made ahead and baked just before serving.
  • Serve with vegan dips like yogurt sauce or hummus for extra flavor.
