Ingredients
- 1 bunch asparagus, ends trimmed
- 2 tsp olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 sheet puff pastry, fresh or thawed
- 150 g dairy-free herb cream cheese or plain with herbs
- 6 dairy-free cheese slices
For brushing
- 2 tbsp non-dairy cream
- 1 tsp olive oil
Garnish
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves (optional)
- Fresh lemons (optional)
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper
Toss together the asparagus, olive oil, salt, and pepper
Roll the pastry sheet out on a floured surface and cut it into 6 or 8 squares depending on size
Spread the dairy-free cream cheese on each square, add a slice of dairy-free cheese and 3-4 stalks of asparagus depending on size, then take 2 corners of the pastry and wrap them up and over the asparagus, pressing to seal
Repeat with remaining squares and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each bundle
Brush each pastry with non-dairy cream and a drizzle of olive oil, then transfer to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until puffed and golden brown
Sprinkle with more salt and pepper and thyme if desired and serve immediately with a drizzle of lemon juice
