Equipment
Method
Step 1 — Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2 — Prepare the Feta Filling
- Crumble the feta cheese into a bowl.
- Add:
- Dill
- Mint
- Lemon zest
- Chili flakes
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Mix until well combined.
- The filling should be fragrant and slightly sticky.
Step 3 — Prepare the Phyllo Sheets
- Carefully place one sheet of phyllo on a flat surface.
- Brush with olive oil.
- Stack another sheet on top and brush again.
- Repeat until you have 4 sheets brushed and layered.
- Repeat the same process so you end up with two stacks of 4 sheets each.
Step 4 — Fill & Roll
- Cut each stack into 4 equal rectangles.
- Spoon a small line of feta filling near one edge.
- Fold in the sides and roll tightly into a cylinder (like a spring roll).
- Brush the outside with a little more olive oil to help them crisp.
Step 5 — Bake Until Golden
- Arrange rolls on the baking sheet and bake for:
- 12–15 minutes, or until crisp and golden brown.
- Turn them halfway for even browning.
Step 6 — Make the Chili Honey
- While the rolls bake:
- Warm honey in a small saucepan over low heat.
- Add lemon juice and a pinch of chili flakes.
- Stir gently and remove from heat.
- The chili honey should be warm, glossy, and pourable.
Step 7 — Serve
- Once the rolls are done, drizzle them generously with the warm chili honey.
- Serve immediately while hot and crisp.
Notes
🧊 Storage & Reheating
Storage Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheating Oven or air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 5–7 minutes. Avoid microwaving — it will soften the pastry. These rolls do not freeze well due to the feta filling and phyllo texture. 🥄 Variations Extra spicy: Add more chili flakes or a bit of chili garlic oil to the filling. Creamier filling: Mix feta with a spoon of cream cheese or ricotta. Herb lovers: Add basil or parsley. Nutty crunch: Add crushed pistachios to the filling or honey drizzle. Savory version: Omit honey and pair with tzatziki. ❓ 10 FAQs
1. Can I use another cheese instead of feta? Yes — halloumi or ricotta works well, though feta gives the best flavor. 2. Can I air fry these rolls? Yes, air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 8–10 minutes. 3. Do I need to layer phyllo sheets? Layering keeps the pastry from tearing and makes it crispier. 4. Can I use dried herbs? Fresh herbs are best, but you can use half the amount if dried. 5. Can the rolls be made ahead of time? Assemble ahead and bake fresh right before serving. 6. Can I make these gluten-free? Yes, use gluten-free phyllo if available. 7. Can I add garlic to the filling? Yes, add 1 small minced clove for extra flavor. 8. Why did my rolls crack? Phyllo dries fast — keep unused sheets covered with a towel. 9. Can I serve without honey? Yes, chili oil alone works beautifully. 10. Are they better hot or cold? Definitely hot — crisp outside, creamy inside. 🏁 Conclusion These Oven-Fried Feta Rolls with Chili Honey deliver an unforgettable fusion of textures and flavors — crispy phyllo pastry, creamy herb-packed feta, and a sticky drizzle of sweet-spicy honey that makes every bite irresistible. They’re simple enough for quick snacking yet elegant enough for guests, mezze platters, brunch, or festive gatherings. From the fresh herbs to the warm heat of chili flakes and the tang of lemon, every ingredient plays a delicious role. Once you make these rolls, they’ll become a go-to appetizer that never fails to impress.
