  • Cut the vegetables thinly so that they are easy to roll up.
  • Be sure to spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the vegetables before rolling them up.
  • If you are using a harder vegetable, such as a carrot, you may need to blanch it before rolling it up. This will help to soften the vegetable and make it more pliable.
  • To make sure the pinwheels stay rolled up, you can secure them with a toothpick or a piece of string.
  • Chill the pinwheels for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help them to set and make them easier to slice.
