Ingredients for Spinach Rolls
Yield: 36 pieces
For the Filling:
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced (or more to taste)
- 1 (10-ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
- Salt, to taste
- 1 (4-ounce) package crumbled vegan feta cheese
For the Puff Pastry:
- 3 sheets frozen vegan puff pastry, thawed
- 1 large egg substitute, prepared (e.g., flax egg or aquafaba)
- 1 tbsp plant-based milk
- 2 tbsp sesame seeds
How to Make Vegan Spinach Rolls
Step 1: Prepare the Filling
- Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Sauté minced garlic until fragrant, about 1–2 minutes.
- Add thawed and drained spinach, cooking for 3–5 minutes. Season with salt.
- Transfer to a bowl and mix in crumbled vegan feta cheese.
Step 2: Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Grease two baking sheets or line them with parchment paper.
Step 3: Prepare the Puff Pastry
- Roll out one sheet of vegan puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Cut it in half lengthwise.
- Use a rolling pin to slightly widen each half for easier folding.
Step 4: Assemble the Rolls
- In a small bowl, whisk together the egg substitute and plant-based milk to create an egg wash.
- Spread 1/6 of the spinach mixture along the center of one pastry half.
- Fold one side of the pastry over the filling, brush the edge with egg wash, and fold again to seal.
- Brush the top of the roll with egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- Cut into six equal pieces. Repeat with the remaining pastry and filling.
Step 5: Bake the Rolls
- Arrange the pieces on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them slightly apart.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes or until golden and puffed.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
Let the rolls cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
Tips for Success
- Fresh Spinach Option: Use about 1 pound of fresh spinach, wilted and chopped, in place of frozen spinach.
- Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for the best texture.
- Add Flavor: Enhance the filling with spices like nutmeg, black pepper, or chili flakes.
