Golden, flaky, and deliciously morish, these Pumpkin and Spinach Puff Pastry Pinwheels are the perfect appetizer. Can be made ahead of time!
INGREDIENTS
- 500 g butternut pumpkin skin removed, chopped into small chunks
- 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 sheets frozen puff pastry, thawed
- 2 cups loosely packed fresh spinach leaves, roughly chopped
- 1 Tbsp dried mixed Italian herbs
- Salt & pepper, to season
- 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
INSTRUCTIONS
-
Preheat oven to 200°C (390°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
-
Place chopped pumpkin in a baking dish or on a baking sheet. Drizzle over the oil and toss to coat.
-
Roast for 25-30 minutes or until tender. Remove and allow to cool for 20 minutes.
-
Thaw the pastry while the pumpkin cools.
-
To a high-speed food processor, add cooled pumpkin, spinach leaves, herbs, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
-
Blend on high until well combined and mostly smooth, it’s ok if there are some small chunks of pumpkin throughout.
-
Working with one sheet at a time, place the sheet of thawed pastry on a large chopping board.
-
Spoon half of the pumpkin mixture over the pastry sheet and spread out evenly to the edges.
-
Sprinkle half of the crumbled feta over the pumpkin.
-
Starting at one edge, roll the pastry up tightly over the mixture until you reach the end and you have a long log.
-
Using a sharp knife, slice the pinwheels, about 2-3cm (1-inch) in width.
-
Place pinwheels on the lined baking sheet.
-
Repeat the above method with the second sheet of pastry.
-
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until puffed and golden.
-
Serve and enjoy straight from the oven.
-
Store leftover pinwheels in a sealed container, refrigerated for up to 3 days. To make them ahead of time and freeze, refer to the detailed instructions within this blog post.
