Cheesy Green Pinwheels
Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry
- 1/2 medium zucchini (grated, squeeze the liquid out)
- 1 handful baby spinach (chopped)
- 10 g fresh basil (chopped)
- 50 g broccoli (steamed and finely chopped)
- 50 g vegan cheese (grated)
- 1 tsp soy milk (to brush the pastry)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200c/390f.
- Combine all the veggies in a bowl.
- Place the veggie mix across the pastry, leaving around 1 inch of space from the sides and end (the veggies move as you roll and will spill out otherwise) then top the veggies with the cheese.
- Gently press and roll into a log and then slice into approx 2cm slices, making 10 rolls.
- Gently place on a sheet of baking paper/tray, brush the sides of the pastry with the soy milk and bake for 25-30mins until golden.

My broccoli hating 14 month old loves these reheated in the microwave! (Doesn’t seem to be a fan on flaky pastry). I love them too.
Oh good tip, the soft pastry must be a nicer texture for them.
Our household isn’t vegan, but my 10 month is severely allergic to eggs so we’ve had to find a lot of alternatives. The pinwheels are amazing. Our whole household loves them, sometimes we add turkey and make it a lunch. Great for on the go food or going to the zoo or park.
Love that these can be a part of your allergy friendly foods! Thanks for sharing!x
