Ingredients

Scale

Filling Ingredients

  • 1 cup frozen chopped spinach (thawed and drained)
  • 1 cup plant-based ricotta cheese
  • 1 clove minced garlic (natural extract)
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • ½ cup plant-based shredded cheese (optional)

Wrap Ingredients

  • 1 package crescent dough
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: Squeeze any excess water from the thawed spinach to prevent sogginess. In a mixing bowl, combine the drained spinach, plant-based ricotta cheese, minced garlic, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, salt, and freshly cracked pepper. Stir well until mixture is creamy and evenly blended.
  2. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  3. Roll out the Crescent Dough: Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into triangles following the package instructions. For a thicker wrap, pinch the perforations together to seal the dough.
  4. Add the Filling: Place a generous spoonful of the spinach and ricotta mixture near the wide end of each crescent triangle. Sprinkle with plant-based shredded cheese if using, for extra richness.
  5. Form the Wraps: Roll each triangle from the wide end toward the point, fully encasing the filling. Tuck the edges slightly under to secure and prevent filling from leaking.
  6. Brush and Bake: Lightly brush each wrapped crescent with olive oil for a golden, shiny crust. Arrange on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the dough is puffed and golden brown.
  7. Cool and Serve: Let the wraps cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving to allow the filling to set and make handling easier.

Notes

  • Drain spinach well to avoid soggy wrapping dough.
  • Do not overfill the wraps to prevent spillage during baking.
  • Press perforations firmly when sealing dough to avoid cracks.
  • Watch baking time closely to prevent drying out the dough.
  • Serve warm for best flavor and texture.
