Ingredients

• 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  
  

• 1 cup fresh spinach, finely chopped
  
  

• ½ cup feta cheese, crumbled
  
  

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
  
  

• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  
  

• ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  
  

• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  
  

Directions

1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
   
   

2. Prepare Spinach Filling: In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped spinach and sauté until wilted and any excess moisture has evaporated. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
   
   

3. Combine Filling Ingredients: In a bowl, mix the sautéed spinach with crumbled feta cheese, garlic powder, and black pepper until well combined.
   
   

4. Assemble Twists: Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Spread the spinach and feta mixture evenly over half of the pastry. Fold the other half over the filling to create a sandwich. Press down gently to seal the edges.
   
   

5. Cut and Twist: Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the filled pastry into 1-inch strips. Twist each strip several times and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
   
   

6. Apply Egg Wash: Brush each twist with the beaten egg to give them a golden finish when baked.
   
   

7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15–18 minutes, or until the twists are puffed and golden brown.
   
   

8. Serve: Allow the twists to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm.
