Filling Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 1 cup plant-based ricotta
- 1 clove garlic (natural), minced
- 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent
Dough
- 1 package crescent roll dough (use gluten-free if required)
Optional Glaze
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (natural)-based glaze or water for brushing
Instructions
- Prepare the Spinach Filling: Sauté the fresh spinach in a nonstick pan over medium heat until wilted, then transfer to a bowl to cool. In a mixing bowl, combine the plant-based ricotta, minced garlic (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), apple cider vinegar (natural), salt, and pepper. Add the natural gelling agent and mix well. Gently fold the cooled spinach into the ricotta mixture until evenly combined.
- Assemble the Crescent Wraps: Preheat your oven according to the crescent roll dough package instructions. Roll out the crescent dough and separate it into triangles. Spoon a generous amount of spinach ricotta filling onto the wide end of each triangle. Carefully roll the dough around the filling to form neat parcels. Place the wraps spaced evenly on a parchment-lined baking tray.
- Bake to Perfection: Lightly brush the tops of each wrap with apple cider vinegar (natural)-based glaze or water to promote a golden crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and flaky. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Press the spinach well to remove excess moisture and avoid soggy filling.
- Use room temperature plant-based ricotta for easier mixing and smooth texture.
- Don’t overfill the dough triangles to prevent leaking during baking.
- Try adding a pinch of nutmeg or smoked paprika to the filling for an extra flavor dimension.
- Prepare dough wedges evenly for consistent baking and attractive presentation.
