Description
These Spinach Feta Mini Rolls are a delightful combination of creamy cheese, fresh herbs, and tender spinach wrapped in flaky phyllo dough. The filling, made with feta, Romano, red onion, mint, and parsley, brings a rich, aromatic flavor that pairs perfectly with the crispiness of the phyllo. They’re ideal as an appetizer or party snack and can be made quickly in an air fryer, oven, or by frying.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package frozen phyllo (filo) dough
- 1 bag frozen spinach (450 grams), thawed and drained
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 egg
- ½ cup grated Romano cheese
- 1 red onion, finely chopped
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- ¼ teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1 cup fresh mint, chopped
- 1 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Thaw the phyllo dough according to the manufacturer’s instructions, allowing it to soften for easy handling.
- In a food processor, combine the thawed spinach, crumbled feta, egg, grated Romano cheese, chopped red onion, salt, pepper, ground cardamom, mint, and parsley. Blend until the ingredients form a creamy paste.
- Take one sheet of phyllo dough and keep the remaining sheets covered with a clean, damp kitchen towel to prevent drying. Cut the sheet into three long strips.
- Lightly brush each strip with oil and fold in half for a double layer. Place about 1 teaspoon of filling along the short side of the rectangle, then roll the dough tightly to enclose the filling. Lightly brush the finished roll with a little more oil.
- Continue with the remaining phyllo sheets and filling to make additional rolls.
- For air fryer: Preheat air fryer to 180°C (350°F). Place rolls in the air fryer basket and cook for 4 minutes or until golden and crisp. For oven or frying option: If you don’t have an air fryer, bake the rolls in a preheated oven, brushing them with a little oil before baking, or fry them in oil until golden brown.
- Arrange the warm mini rolls on a platter and serve with Greek yogurt for dipping.
