Now let’s turn our attention to how to create these incredible Oven Fried Feta Rolls with Chili Honey. Follow these easy steps:

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, crumble the feta cheese. Add the dried oregano, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Mix well until combined.
Layer the Phyllo Dough: Lay out one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean working surface. Lightly spray it with olive oil. Place another sheet on top and spray again.
Stuff the Rolls: Take a spoonful of the feta mixture and place it at one end of the layered phyllo dough. Roll it tightly to form a cylinder and tuck in the ends to seal. Place seam-side down on the baking tray.
Repeat and Prepare for Baking: Repeat the previous step for all the sheets. Once finished, brush each roll with olive oil and sprinkle panko breadcrumbs over the top for extra crunch.
Bake the Rolls: Place the tray in the oven and bake for about 15 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.

For added flavor, try mixing in some chopped herbs like dill or parsley into the feta filling.
If you want an extra crispy texture, you can bake them on a wire rack instead of directly on the baking tray.
