Ingredients

• 1 sheet Gluten-free puff pastry
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 small, diced Yellow onion
• 2 cloves, minced Garlic
• 1 medium, diced Carrot
• 1 medium, diced Red bell pepper
• 1 cup Frozen peas
• 2 cups, chopped Spinach
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Cumin powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 2 tablespoons Plant-based milk or egg wash (optional for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the diced onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.

Step 5

Stir in the diced carrot and red bell pepper; cook for 5 minutes until they begin to soften.

Step 6

Add the frozen peas and chopped spinach. Stir, and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts.

Step 7

Season the vegetable mixture with salt, black pepper, cumin powder, and turmeric powder. Mix well, then remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

Step 8

On a lightly floured surface (using gluten-free flour), roll out the gluten-free puff pastry sheet if needed, and cut it into 12 equal squares or rectangles.

Step 9

Place a small spoonful of the vegetable filling in the center of each piece of puff pastry.

Step 10

Fold the edges of the pastry over the filling to seal, creating a triangle or rectangle shape. Use a fork to crimp the edges, ensuring no filling leaks out.

Step 11

Place the filled puffs on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each one.

Step 12

Optional: Brush the tops of the puffs lightly with plant-based milk or egg wash for a golden finish.

Step 13

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the puffs are golden brown and flaky.

Step 14

Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm. Enjoy your gluten-free veggie puffs!
