Oven Fried Feta Rolls with Chili Honey 🌶️🍯🧀
Ingredients
For the Feta Rolls:
1 block (8 oz) feta cheese, crumbled or in a block
1 package of spring roll wrappers or phyllo dough sheets (around 8 sheets)
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh herbs (optional), like thyme or oregano for added flavor
For the Chili Honey Drizzle:
½ cup (120ml) honey
1 tablespoon red chili flakes (adjust based on your spice preference)
1 teaspoon lime juice (optional for added zest)
Pinch of salt
Instructions
1. Prepare the Feta Rolls:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
If using phyllo dough, brush one sheet with olive oil and place a second sheet on top, brushing it with oil as well. If using spring roll wrappers, just ensure they're softened according to package instructions.
Place a tablespoon or two of crumbled feta in the center of each wrapper. If desired, sprinkle with a pinch of fresh herbs like thyme or oregano for extra flavor.
Fold the sides of the wrapper over the filling, then carefully roll it up tightly. Repeat for all the feta rolls.
Brush the tops of the rolls lightly with olive oil to ensure they become golden and crispy during baking.
Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
2. Bake the Feta Rolls:
Place the feta rolls on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they’re not touching each other for even baking.
Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, flipping them halfway through for an even color.
3. Make the Chili Honey Drizzle:
While the rolls are baking, in a small saucepan, combine the honey, red chili flakes, and a pinch of salt.
Heat over low to medium heat for about 3-4 minutes, stirring until well mixed and slightly warmed. For added acidity, stir in a teaspoon of lime juice.
Remove from heat once it reaches your desired consistency, and set aside.
4. Assemble and Serve:
Once the feta rolls are crispy and golden, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly.
Drizzle the chili honey over the warm rolls just before serving.
Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs or a light dusting of chili flakes for extra heat and presentation.

Tips for Success:
Wrapper Tip: If using phyllo dough, work quickly to prevent it from drying out. You can cover unused sheets with a damp towel to keep them moist.
Chili Honey Variation: Adjust the chili flakes to match your heat preference. For a milder version, reduce the amount of chili flakes or use a milder chili like paprika.
Serving Suggestions: These feta rolls are perfect as an appetizer, snack, or part of a mezze platter. Serve with a side of fresh salad or tzatziki for a refreshing contrast to the heat of the chili honey.
