Oven Fried Feta Rolls with Chili Honey

Save this recipe on:

Golden, crispy, and oozing with warm feta, these Oven Fried Feta Rolls with Chili Honey are the perfect fusion of salty, creamy, and spicy-sweet. Wrapped in paper-thin phyllo and baked to shatteringly crisp perfection, they hit that snack-time sweet spot without the hassle of frying.

The drizzle of chili-infused honey adds an unexpected twist that makes these rolls irresistible. Whether you’re entertaining guests or just want a quick savory treat, these rolls deliver on flavor, crunch, and elegance. They also pair beautifully with mezze platters or light salads.

What Kind of Phyllo Should I Use?

You’ll want to use thin phyllo pastry sheets—the kind typically used for baklava. These crisp up in the oven and give you that satisfying crackle in every bite. Be sure to keep them covered with a damp towel while working, as they dry out fast.

Ingredients for the Oven Fried Feta Rolls with Chili Honey

Phyllo Dough Sheets: These ultra-thin layers bake into a golden, crunchy shell that gives the rolls their signature texture.

Feta Cheese: Use high-quality block feta for the best texture and tang. It crumbles beautifully and softens when baked.

Sesame Seeds: Toasted on top for extra nuttiness and crunch.

Chili Flakes: Brings a low, slow heat that balances the richness of the cheese.

Butter or Olive Oil: Brushed onto the phyllo to help it crisp and turn golden in the oven.

Honey: The sweet counterpoint to the salty feta and spicy chili flakes. Warmed and infused with chili for that sticky-sweet kick.

How To Make the Oven Fried Feta Rolls with Chili Honey

Step 1: Prepare the Filling

Crumble the feta into a bowl. You can mix in a touch of cream cheese or ricotta if you’d like a smoother texture.

Step 2: Layer the Phyllo

Lay out one sheet of phyllo, brush lightly with melted butter or olive oil, then layer another sheet on top. Repeat until you have 3-4 layers.

Step 3: Add the Filling & Roll

Place a spoonful of feta filling near one end of the layered phyllo. Roll it up gently like a cigar, tucking in the sides if desired. Repeat until all filling is used.

Step 4: Brush & Sprinkle

Place rolls on a baking tray lined with parchment. Brush tops with more butter/oil. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and chili flakes.

Step 5: Bake to Perfection

Bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 20-25 minutes or until golden and crisp.

Step 6: Drizzle with Chili Honey

While rolls bake, gently heat honey with a pinch of chili flakes. Drizzle over hot rolls just before serving.

How to Serve and Store Oven Fried Feta Rolls with Chili Honey

Serve these rolls warm for the ultimate experience, right after the chili honey drizzle. If you’re preparing ahead, bake them and hold off on the drizzle until serving.

To store, keep the baked rolls (without honey) in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven to restore their crispness. Avoid microwaving, as it softens the phyllo.
