Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees

Thaw Pastry Sheets (on a floured cutting board for about 20 minutes)

Add spinach and toss. Set aside.
Using a paring knife, cut each pastry sheet lengthwise along folded crease (yields 6 cuts total)
Then, cut each strip in two along the width (yields 12 cuts total)
Using a fork, prick each pastry cutout about 4 or 5 times
Using a pastry bush, brush each strip with cold water
Place pastry cuts on a non-stick sheet pan

Place sheet pan in the oven and bake approximately 20 minutes.
