Vegan Veggie Pinwheels!
Fresh broccoli and carrots are mixed with all-vegan cream cheese, mayonnaise, cheddar cheese, herbs, and spices.
All rolled together and sliced for an easy, crowd-pleasing, take anywhere appetizer.
Keep in mind this is a “make-ahead” recipe, but just barely.
Once everything is assembled, the rollups will need to hang out in the fridge for at least an hour or two prior to serving. Just enough to give the flavors time to mix and mingle and blend well.
Pro tip: Save a few minutes of prep time by using a mini chopper or food processor to finely chop the broccoli and carrots.
Ingredients for Vegan Veggie Pinwheels:
- vegan cream cheese
- vegan mayonnaise
- fresh flat-leaf Italian parsley
- dried dill
- garlic powder
- onion powder
- sea salt
- ground black pepper
- fresh broccoli florets

How to make Vegan Veggie Pinwheels:
Mix together the cream cheese, herbs, and seasonings. Into a medium-size mixing bowl, add cream cheese, mayonnaise, parsley, dill, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and ground black pepper. Stir to combine and adjust seasoning, as needed, to taste.
Add the vegetables and cheese. Fold in broccoli, carrots, and cheddar cheese. Stir until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Prep the tortillas. Onto a flat work surface, arrange tortillas in an even layer. Onto each tortilla spoon 1/4 of the mixture. Use the back of your spoon to spread the mixture an even layer, covering the entire tortilla.
Roll into pinwheels. Starting at one end, slowly but tightly roll each tortilla.
Wrap and set. Wrap each rolled tortilla in plastic wrap and set in the refrigerator. Allow to chill for at least 1 hour.

Hi This looks amazing! I want to make this today, I see the ingredients but no measurements. Would you please give the amounts for the ingredients. Thanks

Keep scrolling… the printable recipe card with exact amounts is in the second half the post. 😉

Hi Holly, I do not like tortilllas. Do you think I could use bread or would it be to soggy.
thiswifecooks
I have not tried using bread but I think it could would work fine. Just make sure the bread is thin enough to roll.
Anna
I don’t see tortillas in the ingredients on the printable recipe list. I know that seems obvious but…I’d miss buying them at the store if I printed it.
thiswifecooks
Good catch! It’s there now. 🙂 You will need 8-inch flour tortillas.
Judy
It does not say, so I’m wondering if the broccoli and carrots should be cooked first for this recipe? Thank you.
thiswifecooks
Hi Judy! No, the broccoli and carrots are not cooked.
Jenae
Delicious!

Thank you! 🙂

I usually do not reply to a post unless I’ve tried it. Saying “Can’t wait to try it” or “looks amazing” really is of no factual help. I will try these and weigh in but I really wanted to say your picture immediately reminded me of a much younger Priscilla Presley!
thiswifecooks
Hi Yvette! I agree with you about comments that are of no help and I will also take the compliment. Thank you! 🙂

This is a great recipe, we are not vegan but used regular mayo and cream cheese. I didn’t have onion powder so skipped the salt and used onion salt, but the filling came out way too salty. Woops! Don’t make my mistake LOL.
thiswifecooks
Lol, definitely don’t swap salt for the powder!😳🤣
