Ingredients

Scale

For the Feta Rolls

  • 8 oz (225 g) feta cheese, cut into sticks
  • 6–8 small spring roll wrappers or phyllo sheets
  • 1–2 tsp olive oil or melted butter, for brushing
  • 1 egg, beaten (optional, for sealing)
  • Fresh herbs (parsley or mint), optional

For the Hot Chili Orange Honey

  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • ½ tsp red chili flakes (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tsp orange zest or 1 tbsp orange juice
  • ¼ tsp smoked paprika (optional)

For Serving

  • Lime wedges or fresh herbs, optional

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Feta Rolls: Place a feta stick and optional fresh herbs near one edge of the spring roll wrapper or phyllo sheet. Fold in the sides and roll tightly to enclose the cheese, securing the edges by brushing with beaten egg or water if needed.
  2. Bake the Rolls: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly brush the rolls with olive oil or melted butter, then arrange them on the baking sheet. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, turning halfway through, until the rolls are golden brown and crispy.
  3. Make Hot Chili Orange Honey: In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the honey with minced garlic, red chili flakes, and orange zest or juice. Stir occasionally for 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat and optionally stir in smoked paprika for a subtle smoky flavor.
  4. Serve: Drizzle the hot chili orange honey generously over the baked feta rolls. Garnish with lime wedges or additional fresh herbs if desired, and serve immediately for best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Use phyllo sheets carefully to prevent tearing; keep them covered with a damp cloth to avoid drying out.
  • Adjust the amount of red chili flakes to suit your preferred spice level.
  • The beaten egg is optional and mainly used to seal the rolls; water can be used as a vegan alternative.
  • For extra crispiness, you can lightly spray the rolls with cooking spray before baking.
  • Serve rolls warm; leftovers can be reheated in the oven to maintain their crisp texture.
