Step 1: Prep Your Oven and Baking Sheet

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Step 2: Sauté the Spinach and Garlic for Your Filling

Heat olive oil in a skillet. Cook chopped spinach until wilted, then add minced garlic and cook until fragrant.

Step 3: Prepare the Spinach and Feta Mixture

Cool the spinach, then squeeze out all excess liquid. Combine the drained spinach with crumbled feta, salt, and pepper.

Removing moisture is crucial for crispy pastry twists, so don’t skip this important step!

Step 4: Assemble Your Spinach and Feta Puff Pastry Twists

Unroll one puff pastry sheet. Spread half the spinach and feta mixture evenly, leaving a small border.

Step 5: Twist and Egg Wash the Pastries

Fold the pastry in half lengthwise and press to seal. Cut into 1-inch strips and gently twist each strip.

Brush with an egg wash (egg and water) and sprinkle with optional sesame or nigella seeds.

Step 6: Bake Your Savory Pastry Bites

Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is beautifully golden brown and puffed.

Step 7: Cool and Serve Your Delicious Twists

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving these delightful spinach appetizer bites.

Pro Tips for Making Perfect Spinach and Feta Puff Pastry Twists

• Keep it Cold: Ensure your puff pastry is thawed but still cold for easy handling and maximum flakiness.

• Squeeze That Spinach: Excess moisture is the enemy of crispy pastry, so wring out every last drop from the cooked spinach.

• Don’t Overfill: A thin, even layer of filling ensures the pastry twists bake properly and maintain their shape.

• Gentle Twists: Twist each strip just enough to create a nice spiral without tearing the delicate pastry.

• Golden Finish: The egg wash not only adds shine but also helps achieve that beautiful, golden-brown crust.

• Serve Warm: While delicious at room temperature, these savory pastry bites are truly irresistible when served warm from the oven.
