Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 200g feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon fresh herbs (parsley, dill, or optional)

Wrappers and Coating

  • 810 sheets phyllo or spring roll wrappers
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter, for brushing

Sweet Chili Honey Glaze

  • 3 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: Crumble the feta cheese into a bowl. Mix in garlic powder, smoked paprika, and fresh herbs if using, to create a flavorful and creamy filling.
  2. Assemble the Rolls: Lay out phyllo or spring roll wrappers on a clean surface. Lightly brush each sheet with olive oil or melted butter to ensure crispiness. Place a spoonful of the feta mixture near one edge, then roll up tightly, folding in the sides to secure the filling.
  3. Bake to Golden Perfection: Arrange the prepared rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet with space between each. Brush the tops with olive oil again. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
  4. Prepare the Sweet Chili Honey Glaze: While the rolls bake, combine sweet chili sauce and honey in a small bowl. Adjust the proportions to fit your preferred balance of sweetness and spice. Warm gently if needed for smooth mixing.
  5. Glaze and Serve: Remove the rolls from the oven and immediately drizzle the sweet chili honey glaze over them. Serve warm for the best flavor and texture experience.

Notes

  • Brush phyllo sheets gently but thoroughly to avoid sogginess and ensure crisp texture.
  • Space rolls evenly on the baking sheet to allow proper air circulation for even baking.
  • Heat the glaze gently to adjust consistency—warm it to thin or use thicker honey for a stickier coating.
  • Use cold feta as it holds together better and makes rolling easier.
  • Oven baking keeps the rolls crispy and reduces oil use compared to deep frying.
