Sundried tomato, Pesto & Olive pinwheel

Sundried tomato, Pesto & Olive pinwheel

With only about 5 ingredients & ready in under 30 minutes, this flavor packed snack recipe, should always be in your back pocket. I suggest always using the other sheet of pastry to double the recipe. These pinwheels are so light & way too easy to eat!

Active Time: 5 min.

Total Time: 25 min.

Servings: 12-14 pinwheels

  • 1 sheet ready-rolled puff pastry 320g
  • 3-4 tablespoons Pesto (store bought or homemade)
  • 1/3 cup Sun-dried tomatoes ,finely chopped
  • 1/3 cup Olives (kalamata, Nicoise) pitted and sliced
  • 1 egg beaten + 1 tablespoon water (egg wash)
  • Grated Parmesan cheese
  • Ground Black pepper  

Roadmap:

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment.
  2. Unroll the puff pastry onto a lightly floured surface & roll lightly to crease seams. 
  3. Spread pesto evenly over the pastry. Scatter chopped sun-dried tomatoes and olives across the surface.
  4. Roll up tightly from the long edge into a log. Slice into rounds about 1/2 inch thick. Arrange flat on the tray, leaving space between spirals.
  5. Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle on Parmesan cheese & black pepper. Bake for 15–18 minutes until puffed and golden. Serve warm or cooled.

NOTE: Drain excess oil from pesto, Sun dried tomatoes & olives as it can prevent pastry from crisping & become soggy.
