Ingredients

For the Pinwheels

1 cup gluten-free flour
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Mix well and set aside.

Instructions

Prepare the Dough

In a large bowl, combine gluten-free flour, Greek yogurt, baking powder, and salt. Mix until a dough forms.

Roll Out the Dough

On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.

Add Filling

Spread the chopped spinach, feta cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, and black pepper evenly over the dough.

Roll and Slice

Carefully roll the dough into a log, then slice into 1-inch pinwheels.

Bake

Place the pinwheels on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

Allow to cool slightly before serving.

Serving Suggestions

To elevate your Spinach and Feta Pinwheels, consider serving them with a homemade tzatziki sauce. This refreshing yogurt-based dip pairs wonderfully with the flavors of the pinwheels and adds an extra layer of creaminess. You can easily whip up a batch using Greek yogurt, cucumber, garlic, and dill for a tasty accompaniment.

For a more substantial meal, pair these pinwheels with a crisp green salad topped with a light vinaigrette. This combination not only enhances the flavors but also creates a balanced meal that is satisfying yet light.

Storage Tips

If you have leftovers, you can store the Spinach and Feta Pinwheels in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, simply place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or until warmed through. This helps maintain their flaky texture and delicious flavor.

For longer storage, consider freezing the pinwheels before baking. Simply roll and slice them, then place them on a baking sheet to freeze individually. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer bag. When you’re ready to enjoy, bake them directly from the freezer, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.

Nutritional Benefits

These Spinach and Feta Pinwheels are not only tasty but also packed with nutritional benefits. Spinach is a powerhouse of vitamins A, C, and K, as well as important minerals like iron and calcium. Incorporating spinach into your diet can enhance overall health and boost your immune system.

Feta cheese, while delicious, also offers a good source of protein and calcium, making these pinwheels a satisfying snack that can help keep you energized throughout the day. Enjoy them guilt-free knowing that they provide both taste and nutrition!
