Oven Fried Feta Rolls with Chili Honey

Oven Fried Feta Rolls with Chili Honey

Oven Fried Feta Rolls with Chili Honey are a crispy, savory, and delightful snack combining creamy, salty feta wrapped in golden, crunchy phyllo or spring roll wrappers. Drizzled with a sticky, spicy-sweet chili-infused honey glaze, these rolls are perfect as an appetizer, party snack, or flavorful treat anytime. With an easy oven-frying method, they offer a healthier, lighter alternative to traditional fried snacks without compromising on taste or texture.

  • Total Time: 25-30 minutes
  • Yield: 8-10 rolls 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 200g firm feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1 tsp lemon zest (optional)
  • 1 tbsp fresh herbs (such as oregano or thyme), chopped

Wrappers and Coating

  • 8–10 phyllo or spring roll wrappers
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or cooking spray

Chili Honey Glaze

  • 4 tbsp honey
  • 1–2 tsp chili flakes or fresh chili, adjust to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chili Honey: In a small bowl, combine honey and chili flakes. Adjust the chili quantity based on your preferred heat level. Gently warm the mixture on low heat until fragrant and infused, then set aside to cool slightly.
  2. Prepare the Feta Filling: Crumble the firm feta cheese into a mixing bowl. Add optional lemon zest and chopped fresh herbs for brightness and flavor. Mix gently to combine without overworking the cheese.
  3. Assemble the Rolls: Lay out the phyllo or spring roll wrappers on a clean surface. Place a spoonful of the feta mixture near one edge. Fold the sides inward and roll tightly to form neat cylinders. Seal the edges with a little water to hold them firmly.
  4. Coat with Oil: Lightly brush each feta roll with olive oil or spray with cooking spray on all sides to ensure a crisp, golden crust after baking.
  5. Oven Fry: Arrange the rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet spaced evenly. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through to ensure even golden, crispy results.
  6. Drizzle and Serve: Remove the rolls from the oven and immediately drizzle generously with the prepared chili honey glaze. Serve warm for the perfect balance of spicy, sweet, and savory flavors.

Notes

  • Use cold feta to help the filling hold its shape during baking.
  • Do not overfill the wrappers to prevent cracking or breaking.
  • Brush oil on both sides for maximum crispiness.
  • Adjust chili level in the honey glaze to avoid overpowering the feta’s tanginess.
  • Prepare and assemble rolls in advance, refrigerate, then bake just before serving.
