These Vegan Veggie Pinwheels are filled with garden vegetables and herbs. They are the perfect sized appetizer or snack.
These vegan veggie tortilla roll-ups make a great appetizer. I served them to some friends who aren't vegan and they not only loved them, but couldn't tell that they were vegan.
These vegan pinwheels can be made ahead of time, which is perfect for bringing to a potluck or party. Just wrap them in plastic wrap and slice them when you get to where you're going.
I ate some leftover pinwheels the next day. They tasted just as good as freshly made ones.
I do think the tortillas and the vegan cream make a difference. I have had some vegan cream cheese brands that were soft and down right liquidy.
For a recipe like this you want a solid cream cheese, especially for making them ahead of time.
Instructions
- Mix vegan cream cheese, chopped red onion, red bell pepper, carrot, chives, dill, parsley, and salt and pepper.
- Spread on tortillas. Roll tightly and slice with a serrated knife.
Tips
- Leave vegan cream out for at least 30 minutes to soften.
- I used Tofutti cream cheese for this. I like the consistency; it's nice and firm. You could use another brand, this make sure it's not liquidy.
- Chop veggies the same size for a uniform bite.
- Heat tortillas to make them pliable, if needed.
- Slice with a serrated knife. If you don't have one, use a really sharp knife.
Can I Make These Ahead of Time?
Wrap the rolled tortillas in plastic wrap and slice them when you are ready to serve them. I suggest only making them the day before eating them.
Storage
The veggie cream cheese will last about 5 days in an airtight container in the fridge.

Started eating a mostly Vegan diet about a month ago. Always looking for tasty ideas. This is a huge winner!! I did not change anything, But like the idea of adding some garlic or garlic powder to the mix. SUPER YUMMY!!
Willow Moon says
Thanks Bonnie! Garlic would be a great addition. Roasted garlic would be great as well. I love to add roasted garlic to vegan mayo.
Heather says
I made with what I had on hand but pretty much followed the recipe. I had regular tortillas and I did add a little fresh garlic and turmeric to the cream cheese mixture. This is delicious and will be my new favorite vegan lunch. Thank you for sharing!
Willow Moon says
Turmeric and garlic both sound like great additions! I’m glad you you liked them.
