A great party item and a savory snack, the Crispy Puffs are arguably one of best that plant-based ingredients have to offer in its roster. Ingredients: - 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 4 oz vegan cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup nutritional yeast (or grated vegan Parmesan cheese alternative)
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 sheet vegan puff pastry, thawed
- 1 tbsp plant-based milk, for brushing
Instructions: - Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, combine the chopped spinach, vegan cream cheese, nutritional yeast, minced garlic, black pepper, salt, and onion powder until well mixed.
- Prepare the puff pastry: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheet to smooth out any creases. Cut the sheet into 12 equal squares.
- Fill the puffs: Place a spoonful of the spinach and cream cheese mixture in the center of each pastry square.
- Seal the puffs: Fold each square over to form a triangle, pressing the edges to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch.
- Brush with plant-based milk: Place the puffs on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with plant-based milk for a golden finish.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the puffs are golden brown and puffed up.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Tips: - Vegan cream cheese: Opt for a vegan cream cheese that is soft and spreadable, which will blend well with the spinach and provide a creamy texture.
- Nutritional yeast: This adds a cheesy flavor without using dairy. It's a great alternative to traditional Parmesan cheese.
- Puff pastry: Ensure the puff pastry you choose is vegan-friendly, as some brands may contain butter or other animal-derived ingredients.
