How to Make Oven-Fried Feta Rolls with Chili Honey
Step 1: Preheat and Prepare
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Make the Feta Filling
In a bowl, mix crumbled feta, ricotta, oregano, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
Stir until well combined.
Step 3: Assemble the Rolls
Lay one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean surface. Brush lightly with melted butter or olive oil.
Place another sheet on top and brush again.
Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the feta filling near the bottom edge.
Fold in the sides and roll tightly, like a spring roll.
Repeat with the remaining phyllo sheets and filling.
Step 4: Bake Until Golden
Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet, seam-side down.
Brush the tops with more melted butter or olive oil.
Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 5: Make the Chili Honey
While the rolls are baking, heat honey in a small saucepan over low heat.
Stir in red pepper flakes, lemon juice, and smoked paprika.
Simmer for 1-2 minutes, then remove from heat.
Step 6: Drizzle and Serve
Once the feta rolls are golden and crisp, remove them from the oven.
Drizzle generously with the warm chili honey.
Serve immediately and enjoy!

Tips for the Best Oven-Fried Feta Rolls
- Use Fresh Phyllo Dough: Keep it covered with a damp towel to prevent drying out.
- Roll Tightly: This prevents them from unrolling while baking.
- Adjust the Spice Level: Add more or fewer red pepper flakes depending on your spice preference.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5-7 minutes to maintain crispiness.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: Can I use puff pastry instead of phyllo dough?
Yes! Puff pastry will create a flakier texture, but it will still be delicious.
Q2: Can I make these ahead of time?
Absolutely! Assemble the rolls and store them in the fridge for up to 24 hours before baking.
Q3: Can I freeze the feta rolls?
Yes, freeze unbaked rolls on a tray, then transfer them to a bag. Bake straight from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
