These Vegan Sun-Dried Tomato and Feta Pinwheels are packed full of flavour. They are the perfect party snack. Get the recipe below.
Pinwheels are the perfect part snack as they're easy to nibble on alongside a drink or two. You can make them with so many different flavour combinations (hello Three Cornered Leek Pesto Pinwheels) but these Vegan Sun-dried Tomato and Feta Pinwheels are one of my favourites.
Made with simple ingredients like vegan cream cheese, sun-dried tomatoes and ready to roll puff pastry, they're an easy recipe to make but they are guaranteed to impress your guests. Just make the filling, spread over the pastry, roll up and bake! It's that simple.
I love to serve these at parties, picnics, buffets and other events where I need to feed a crowd as just one sheet of pastry makes plenty to share.

Step-by-step Instructions
There are just 4 simple steps between you and freshly baked Vegan Sun-Dried Tomato and Feta Pinwheels!
- Step 1: in a mixing bowl combine the vegan cream cheese, feta, parsley, garlic powder and salt and pepper to season
- Step 2: roll out the puff pastry into a large rectangle, with the long side of the puff pastry facing you, spread out the cream cheese then top with the sun-dried tomatoes
- Step 3: starting from the top edge, tuck and roll the pastry towards you to form a spiral log, cut into ½ inch-thick pieces and lay out on a baking tray
- Step 4: bake the pinwheels until golden brown and puffy, leave to cool slightly before serving
Substitutions
- Store bought puff pastry: not a fan of processed ready to roll puff? Try making your own from scratch with this vegan puff pastry recipe
- Vegan cream cheese: try making my vegan ricotta instead of relying on store bought vegan cream cheese
- Fresh herbs: can't get hold of fresh parsley? Use dried instead!
- Garlic: swap garlic powder for minced garlic if fresh is your preference
Variations
You can add your own twist to this recipe by making some of the following tweaks:
- Add some extra spice! Chilli flakes or fresh red chilli will add some heat to these pinwheels.
- Extra cheesy: if you really want to bring home the flavour of cheese then add vegan parmesan or vegan cheddar to the mix.
- Leafy greens: thawed and drained frozen spinach would be a great addition to add some green to the dish. Just layer it over the sun-dried tomatoes before rolling them up.
Equipment
You'll need some basic kitchen kit to make these pinwheels. Make sure you've got the following before you start:
- Mixing bowl
- Spoon
- Knife
- Chopping board
- Baking tray
- Baking paper
Storage
You can make these ahead if you wish but I don't recommend keeping them for more than a day or two in an airtight container.
Top tip
Roll the pastry up as tight as you can to avoid the filling escaping and spreading out when they cook.
Frequently Asked Questions
Try to use a very sharp knife and press down gently, alternatively you can chill or freeze the log to help it firm up before slicing.
