Veggie Pinwheels

Make delicious Veggie Pinwheels for your next party or event and watch the platter empty in no time. It is a colorful dish that can be an appetizer or light meal.

This Veggie pinwheels with cream cheese appetizer recipe is quick, easy, and keeps well.

Why This Recipe

Simple Steps. This recipe is really simple and easy to pull together for a party even when you find out about it last minute. No cooking is necessary.

Perfect Game Day Food. These little pinwheels are the perfect snack for your next game-day party. Grab this finger good quick and get back to the game!

Ingredients for Veggie Pinwheels

Flour Tortillas. Four large tortillas make a nice plateful of pinwheels, but you can double, triple, or quadruple this recipe for a large event. Most tortillas have vegetarian-friendly ingredients, so that these can truly be vegetarian pinwheel sandwiches.

Cream Cheese. Regular or low fat will both work for the pinwheels. I don't recommend generic brands.

Sour Cream.

Dry Ranch Seasoning Packet. If you prefer., you can use ¼ cup homemade ranch seasoning.

Shredded Carrots. You can buy these already shredded to save yourself time.

Broccoli. At your local grocery store, you might even find a broccoli slaw with carrots and broccoli shredded together which would be perfect.

Mushrooms. Finely chopped. Shitake mushrooms have a lovely flavor but any mushroom will work for this.

Red Bell Pepper. Diced small.

How to Make Veggie Pinwheels

Once you chop up your veggies, making a batch of veggie pinwheels is so easy! Just blend the filling, spread it on the tortillas, sprinkle on the veggies, and roll them up. Cut them into one-inch slices and you are ready to go.

Tips for the Veggie Pinwheels/Veggie Roll Ups

Room temperature cream cheese will be easier to mix up.

If it will be a while before you will serve the veggie pinwheels, keep them stored in the refrigerator. If you've made a large batch, only pull out a smaller amount at a time.

Change up the flavor! Try a different seasoning mix for a completely different appetizer. Try Thousand Island, Poppyseed, Italian, or Caesar seasonings. Add a little hot sauce or specialty sauce to change it up even more.

Change up the veggies and you'll have something completely different! Try lettuce and tomatoes with a taco seasoning packet.

FAQ

How to store leftover pinwheels?

These are actually fabulous in a lunch box! Make up a batch at the beginning of the week and keep them refrigerated in an airtight container, or go ahead and put them into individual serving-size containers so they are grab-and-go.

Can I freeze veggie pinwheels?

Yes. However, cream cheese may change in texture once frozen and it can be off-putting. You might rather just send home small bags of them with several different party guests instead.

    These are one of my favorite recipes ever. I even can cut them up even smaller, if you can believe that, for Rider. And the kids like them in lunchboxes.

Hi, I'm Raquel! I am a self-proclaimed foodie and have enjoyed cooking and baking since I was little. I loved baking cookies with my mother and grandma as a child, and later making dinners for my parents to foster my passion while in high school. I also had a passion for organizing and keeping things tidy.
