Ingredients

• 1 package Vegan puff pastry sheets
• 2 cups Fresh spinach
• 1 cup Vegan cream cheese
• 1 tablespoon Nutritional yeast
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Defrost the puff pastry sheets according to the package instructions, allowing them to become pliable but still cool to touch.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, combine the vegan cream cheese, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

Stir in the cooked spinach until well combined with the cheese mixture.

Step 6

Unroll the defrosted puff pastry sheets on a clean surface. Spread the spinach and cheese mixture evenly over each sheet.

Step 7

Roll each sheet tightly into a log, starting from one of the longer sides.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the pinwheels are golden brown and the pastry is cooked through.

Step 10

Allow to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before serving warm. Enjoy your vegan cheese and spinach pinwheels!
