Why You’ll Love This Recipe
I absolutely love making these Cheesy Baked Vegetable Rolls because they are so versatile and delicious! The combination of creamy mozzarella and tangy cream cheese pairs perfectly with the sautéed veggies, creating a hearty yet light filling. The puff pastry gives each roll a wonderfully flaky texture, while the olive oil adds a lovely golden crispiness when baked. It’s a recipe that I can easily whip up in no time and serves as a satisfying treat any time of the day.
Ingredients
1 package of puff pastry (about 2 sheets)
1 cup spinach, chopped
1/2 cup mushrooms, finely chopped
1/2 cup bell peppers, finely chopped
1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil (for brushing)
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into 4 squares.
In a medium skillet, sauté the spinach, mushrooms, bell peppers, and red onion over medium heat until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed vegetables with mozzarella cheese, cream cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Place a spoonful of the vegetable and cheese mixture in the center of each puff pastry square.
Fold the corners of the puff pastry over the filling to create a roll. Pinch the edges to seal them.
Place the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops of the rolls with olive oil.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Serve warm and enjoy!

Add more veggies: I love to experiment with other veggies like zucchini or kale for a different flavor profile.
Herb infusion: Adding fresh herbs like basil or thyme can elevate the taste even more.
Spicy version: For a little kick, consider adding red pepper flakes to the filling.
Non-dairy option: You can use dairy-free cream cheese and mozzarella for a vegan twist.
Storage/Reheating
I find that these Cheesy Baked Vegetable Rolls store well in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2-3 days. To reheat, I pop them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes or until warmed through, making them crispy again.

If you’re looking for a gluten-free option, you can use gluten-free puff pastry instead. Just ensure that the rest of the ingredients are also gluten-free.
Can I freeze these rolls?
