Blanch the greens, Mix in the cream cheese, onion, garlic, tarragon, dill, parsley (yum!), spread over the pastry or tortilla. Serve as is or with some marinara. 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! Use my 20 Min Pizza dough, add the filling, roll, slice, no need to refrigerate and bake.
Make these Spinach Cheese Pinwheels for the next get together!

Vegan Spinach Cheese Pinwheels
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
- Thaw the puff pastry if you havent already. Leave it on the counter till soft enough to handle.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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)
- 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.

The first time I made these at 400 degrees for 25 minutes the bottoms burned. I remade them at 350 for about 35 minutes and they were perfect. I am making them now at 375 to see if they can be made faster. Thank you for the delicious recipe.
oh! yes, oven can vary! thanks Jasmine
Not sure what I did wrong but the pastry unraveled and the cheese melted so some of them ended up looking more like circles.
Oh no. You need to press and stick the edges really well. If they baked ok then they should still taste good, although messy
I made these for a gathering tonight and they are so so good! I used Violife cream cheese. Despite them getting squished a bit when slicing, they bounced back to a circle shape in the oven. Thanks!
oh!! try a serrated knife 🙂
Or you can try dental floss. Place underneath roll.
These are delicious, look very elegant to bring to a party, and my omni friends love them, too!! Sometimes I add some finely chopped artichokes.
Awesome!! Do leave a rating too!
I’m obsessed with these. I’ve made them twice now. The first time I added a dash of nutmeg and about 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper. Second time I added those spices, a roasted garlic clove, and one fresh scallion. Oh my LORD they’re divine.
Could this be made with phyllo dough as a substitute for the pastry puff?
i don’t see why not
Can these be frozen after cooking
yes, when reheated after thawing the texture will be slightly different than the original but that’s ok
Made this today. It was super yummy.
Thanks, Richa!
Awesome

Forgot to mention… i rolled and placed into the freezer and couple hours later sliced them and so baked. Easy-Peasy!
