You can use store bought vegan cream cheese or make your own (see recipe notes). To make this gluten-free use a large gluten-free tortilla, spread the mixture, roll it up. Chill and slice (eg. Samosa Tortilla Pinwheels). If you can’t find vegan puff pastry, use a sturdy pie crust or make one with chilled coconut oil. You can also make this into Spinach Cheese Pizza Rolls!

Vegan Spinach Cheese Pinwheels
Vegan Spinach Pinwheels. Creamy cheesy Spinach dip spread on puff pastry, rolled, sliced and baked to make a great Snack. Vegan Soyfree Recipe. Makes 12 to 14 rolls.
- Serves 6
- Prep 15 minutes
- Cook 35 minutes
- Total 50 minutes
Ingredients
- 2 vegan puff pastry sheets (thawed)
- 5 to 6 oz baby spinach or chopped spinach, (thawed if frozen)
- 8 oz plain vegan cream cheese (, I use kite hill.)
- 1/2 tsp dried parsley
- 1/4 tsp dried thyme
- 1/4 tsp dried taragon
- 1/2 tsp dried dill
- 1 tsp onion flakes
- 3/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/3 tsp salt (depends on the saltyness of the cream cheese)
- a dash of cinnamon and nutmeg
Instructions
- 1
Thaw the puff pastry if you havent already. Leave it on the counter till soft enough to handle.
- 2
Add fresh spinach to a bowl. Pour boiling water and let sit for 3 minutes, then drain and use. If using frozen, thaw, squeeze excess moisture and use.
- 3
Add the drained spinach to a bowl. Add cream cheese* (see note to make your own), herbs and spices. Mix well, taste and adjust flavor.
- 4
Place the 1 puff pastry sheet on the other and roll it out to a 12 by 14-16 inch rectangle. Spread the spinach mixture on rolled puff pastry evenly. Roll the puff pastry to make a roll. This roll will be soft at this point. Refrigerate or freeze to harden, about 1 hour. (at this point you can leave the roll refrigerated for upto a day, then slice and bake when needed)
- 5
Slice with a sharp knife or a serrated knife into 1/2 inch or less thickness. Place on parchment lined baking sheet and bake at 400 deg F for 25 to 30 mins or until golden. Cool for a few minutes before serving. Store on the counter for the day and refrigerated for upto 3 days.
Notes
To make this gluten-free, use gluten-free tortillas, spread the spinach mixture, chill and slice. Brush with oil and bake for 10- 15 mins. Make ahead: Freeze the sealed roll log in an airtight container or slice the log and freeze unbaked slices for upto 3 months. Bake when needed. Flavor variations: add chopped sundried tomato or chopped pickled jalapeño. Make this with Cashew Cream Cheese*: If you dont have vegan cream cheese, use 1 cup thick cashew cream (1 cup soaked cashews blended with 1/2 cup water), add 1 tbsp refined coconut oil, a tsp of lemon juice 1 tsp vinegar, mix in and use. The cashew cream cheese will be softer, so hill the log for longer to slice well. Nutrition is 1 of 6 serves (2 rolls per serving)
