Golden, crispy oven-fried feta rolls filled with tangy feta cheese and drizzled with a luscious chili honey glaze. This snack offers a perfect balance of salty, sweet, and spicy flavors with a flaky, crunchy texture. Ideal as an appetizer, party snack, or elegant starter, these rolls are simple to prepare using an oven-baked method for a healthier alternative to deep frying.
Equipment
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper or silicone baking mat
- Pastry brush
- Sharp knife or pizza cutter
- Small saucepan (for chili honey glaze)
- Mixing bowls
Ingredients
- 8 oz block feta cheese
- 12 sheets phyllo dough or 12 spring roll wrappers/wonton skins
- 4 tbsp olive oil or melted butter (for brushing)
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 tsp chili flakes (adjust to taste)
- Optional: fresh oregano, garlic powder, lemon zest, sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Drain feta and pat dry. Cut into 12 equal sticks or rectangles.
- Prepare wrappers: if using phyllo, layer 2-3 sheets, brushing each with oil/butter. For spring roll or wonton wrappers, use one per roll.
- Place feta near one edge of the wrapper and roll tightly, folding in edges to seal.
- Place rolls seam-side down on baking sheet. Brush tops generously with oil/butter.
- Bake 15–20 minutes until golden and crisp.
- Meanwhile, warm honey gently in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in chili flakes and remove from heat.
- Drizzle warm chili honey over baked rolls. Garnish with optional herbs or seeds. Serve warm.
Notes
- Use high-quality feta for best flavor and texture.
- Handle phyllo dough carefully to avoid tearing; keep covered with a damp towel.
- Adjust chili flakes in the honey glaze to control heat level.
- Rolls are best served fresh but can be reheated in the oven or air fryer to retain crispness.
- Freeze unbaked rolls for up to 1 month; bake directly from frozen adding extra baking time.
