Air Fryer Spanakopita Rolls

MAKE THE SPINACH AND FETA FILLING

1. Chop the spinach and sprinkle with salt, tossing to combine. The salt will draw out the moisture in the spinach leaves so leave it to rest as you prep the herbs.
2. Meanwhile, finely chop the spring onions, fresh dill, parsley and mint and add to a mixing bowl.
3. Place the spinach in a clean cloth and wring out the moisture (or use your hands). Add to the bowl with the herbs.
4. Stir in the crumbled feta cheese, egg and oregano until the filling is well mixed.

ASSEMBLE THE ROLLS

1. Open up your phyllo pack and cut crosswise into two square (ish) halves. Trim the pastry so each stack of sheets is square. Keep the dough covered with a slightly damp clean cloth while you work so it doesn't dry out.
2. Lay one phyllo square on your worktop with the corner facing you. Brush with melted butter and lay a second sheet on top. Brush with butter again as you go. NOTE: To cut down on calories, use a spray bottle with light olive oil instead of melted butter if preferred
3. Add two tablespoons of filling about an inch from the edge. A small cookie scoop is very useful here! Fold the sides of the dough over the filling, brushing with melted butter as you go, then roll into a neat little parcel.
4. Keep the prepped rolls covered while you continue to use up all the filling and pastry. You should have enough for 8-9 spanakopita rolls.
5. Brush the rolls with melted butter and sprinkle with the seasoning or sesame seeds, if using.

AIR FRY THE SPINACH AND FETA ROLLS

1. Preheat the air fryer for 3 minutes at 350°F / 180°C. Place the rolls on a rack or directly in the air fryer basket, misting them with oil first. Cook a maximum of four rolls per batch to avoid crowding them.
2. Air fry for seven minutes, gently flip the rolls over and continue to cook for another 7 minutes or until the rolls are a beautifully golden and crisp. If the pastry is browning too much you can reduce the temperature by a few degrees.
3. Cool on a wire rack while you cook the second batch. Do not cover or stack the rolls as the steam will cause the pastry to loose its crispness.

SERVE AND ENJOY!

1. Share the rolls as a starter or appetizer soon as they have cooled down enough to handle. Serve two per person you want to make a meal of them with a side salad or a selection of dips.
