Ingredients

Servings

• 1 sheet vegan puff pastry, thawed

• ¹⁄₃ cup raw cashews (soaked in water for 2–4 hours or boiled for 10 minutes)

• 2 tbsp water

• 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped

• ¹⁄₂ cup canned or jarred artichoke hearts, finely chopped

• 1 clove garlic (minced)

• 1 tsp olive oil

• ¹⁄₄ tsp onion powder

• ¹⁄₄ tsp salt (or to taste)

• ¹⁄₈ tsp black pepper

• Optional: 1 tbsp nutritional yeast or vegan parmesan for garnish

To Make

Preheat the Oven:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease a mini muffin tin.

Make the Cashew Cream:

1. Drain the soaked cashews and blend with 2 tbsp water until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

Prepare the Filling:

1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the garlic until fragrant (about 1 minute).
2. Add the spinach and cook until wilted, then stir in the chopped artichokes.
3. Mix the spinach-artichoke mixture with the cashew cream, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning as needed.

Prepare the Puff Pastry:

1. Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Cut into 16 squares (2-inch size).
2. Press each square into a mini muffin tin or onto a baking sheet to form small cups.

Assemble & Bake:

1. Spoon 1–2 teaspoons of the spinach-artichoke filling into each puff pastry cup.
2. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.

Serve:

1. Let cool slightly before serving. Sprinkle with nutritional yeast or vegan parmesan, if desired.
