These artichoke spinach pinwheels are definitely going to make your guests raving for more. Super easy, packed with nutritious ingredients and tasty pinwheels are perfect appetizers for the holiday season.
This premade croissant dough makes it even more simpler.
I never had these pinwheels until recently when I happen to attend a housewarming party for one of my friends. They served a spinach based pinwheel and I absolutely loved it instantly. It was so delicious that I knew I had to try this at home.
However, I gave these pinwheels a twist of my own by adding a variety of other ingredients that I love. When it comes to making pinwheels you can add whatever ingredients you like. I prefer veggies but you can add your favorite choice of meat too. I found them to be a perfect addition to a party/gathering menu when it comes to choosing what appetizers to serve.
These don’t take much prep time and with a pre-made organic croissant dough such as the one by Immaculate Baking, the process of making these pinwheels cannot be much simpler. For this recipe, I used one of their pre-made croissant dough. Particularly because they do not add any artificial preservatives and chemicals, and which is why I would recommend using it when you do not have time to make the dough at home.

Artichoke Spinach Pinwheels!
This is a super quick’n easy recipe. In a medium bowl mix ricotta cheese with finely chopped spinach, red bell pepper, artichoke hearts, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Then roll dough into a thin rectangular sheet. Evenly spread the prepared spinach mixture. Roll up the dough sheet to form swirls of ricotta cheese and spinach mixture. Slice the roll into roughly 1/2″ slices to form pinwheels. Bake these pinwheels until well done in a preheated oven.
You can arrange these artichoke spinach pinwheels into a Christmas tree shape before baking. And you would have a perfect pull-apart appetizer for the Christmas party!
