Instructions
How to Make Air Fryer Feta Rolls
- Chop the fresh baby spinach leaves and sprinkle them with sea salt. Let them sit for about 5 minutes to draw out moisture and enhance flavor.
- Finely chop the spring onions, dill, parsley, and mint, then combine them in a large mixing bowl.
- Squeeze the salted spinach to extract excess moisture using a clean cloth or paper towel.
- Mix the squeezed spinach with the chopped herbs, crumbled feta, beaten egg, and dried oregano until well combined.
- Cut the phyllo dough into squares, keeping the sheets covered with a damp towel.
- Brush a square of phyllo with melted butter, layer a second sheet on top, and brush it again. Repeat this process.
- Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the filling onto one end of the phyllo and roll it tightly, sealing edges with a bit of butter.
- Set your air fryer to 350°F (180°C) and let it preheat for 3 minutes.
- Place the rolls in the air fryer basket and cook for 7 minutes, flipping halfway until golden brown.
- Transfer the cooked rolls to a wire rack and allow them to cool for a few moments.
Notes
