Ingredients

Scale

Filling Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh spinach, finely chopped
  • 1 cup (plant-based) ricotta cheese
  • 1 tablespoon natural gelling agent
  • 2 cloves garlic (natural), minced
  • 1 small onion (natural), diced
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Pinch of nutmeg (natural)

Dough

  • 1 package crescent dough (check for plant-based/gluten free if desired)

Optional Add-Ins and Variations

  • 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (optional)
  • 1/2 cup sautéed mushrooms (optional)
  • Fresh herbs: basil, oregano, or dill, chopped (optional)
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper or chili flakes (optional)
  • 1/4 cup shredded (plant-based) mozzarella (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: Finely chop the fresh spinach. In a skillet, lightly sauté the spinach together with diced onion and minced garlic until tender and fragrant. This process softens the spinach and enhances the flavor.
  2. Mix Ricotta and Seasonings: In a bowl, combine the (plant-based) ricotta, natural gelling agent, sea salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Fold in the warm spinach, onion, and garlic mixture to blend the flavors evenly.
  3. Roll Out Crescent Dough: Unroll the crescent dough on a clean surface and separate it into triangles to prepare for filling.
  4. Fill and Shape Wraps: Place a spoonful of the spinach ricotta mixture near the wide end of each crescent triangle. Roll each triangle carefully toward the pointed end, sealing the edges securely to keep the filling inside.
  5. Bake Until Golden: Arrange the wraps on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and the filling is set.

Notes

  • Don’t overfill the wraps to prevent leaks and keep them neat.
  • Add the filling while warm to allow better spreading and flavor melding.
  • Seal the dough edges firmly to avoid spills during baking.
  • Use fresh spinach for optimal flavor and moisture balance.
  • Brush the crescent dough lightly with olive oil for a crisp, golden crust.
