Vegan Asparagus Spirals

Servings: 10 -12 servings
Author: Lisa Le

Ingredients

  • 1 package of vegan puff pastry
  • 1 bunch of asparagus about 20-30 spears depending on the thickness*
  • 3 tbsp soy milk
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F.
  • Wash and dry your asparagus spears well before wrapping in puff pastry. The pastry won't stick to the spears if they're wet.
  • Snap off the woody ends and set aside.
  • Thaw your puff pastry overnight (I think there's an option to thaw it within an hour on the counter but double check your package).
  • Roll the pastry to about 1/4 inch thickness and cut into 1/2 inch strips. Depending on how long your asparagus, you may need a 10-14 inch long strip. Worse case scenario just trim any excess.
  • Wrap each asparagus spear with the puff pastry strip, leaving kind of a "peekaboo" between each spiral, otherwise your asparagus will kind of just steam inside the pastry while baking. Set on a lined baking sheet at least an inch apart. Repeat with remaining spears, you'll end up with about 2 trays of these.
  • Use a pastry brush to lightly coat the pastry in soy milk, and sprinkle salt and pepper on top for extra flavour (and decoration).
  • Bake for about 20 minutes, either rotating the pan halfway or turning the spears over half way. I was lazy any only rotated the pan. Remove from oven once the edges are nice and golden. Let cool slightly on a wire rack and then serve while still hot!

Notes

Thicker asparagus spears work better for this recipe, but I used medium ones and they worked just fine.
