Ingredients
Scale
Wrap Base
- 8 pieces ready-made crescent dough
Filling
- 1 cup ricotta (plant-based)
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced (natural)
- 1 teaspoon onion powder (natural)
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest (natural)
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Natural gelling agent (optional), 1/2 teaspoon
Instructions
- Prepare the Spinach Filling: Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add fresh spinach and sauté until just wilted. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly. In a bowl, mix the cooked spinach with plant-based ricotta, minced garlic (natural), lemon zest (natural), onion powder (natural), salt, and pepper until evenly combined. Optionally, add natural gelling agent for firmer texture.
- Lay Out the Crescent Dough: Unroll crescent dough on a clean surface. Separate the dough into the pre-marked triangles which serve as the base for the wraps.
- Fill and Roll the Wraps: Spoon a generous amount of the spinach and ricotta mixture onto the wide end of each dough triangle. Spread gently without overfilling. Roll from the wide end toward the tip, sealing the edges lightly to secure the filling.
- Bake Until Golden: Place the wrapped crescents on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown and flaky.
- Let Cool and Serve: Allow the wraps to cool for several minutes so the filling sets slightly. Serve warm for the best texture and flavor experience.
Notes
- Use room temperature plant-based ricotta for a smooth blend with spinach.
- Do not overfill the wraps to avoid bursting during baking.
- Sauté spinach well to remove excess moisture and prevent sogginess.
- Brush the dough lightly with olive oil or plant-based milk for a golden finish instead of egg wash.
- Cool the wraps slightly before slicing to maintain structure.
