  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the crumbled feta, dill, mint, lemon zest, and a generous pinch of black pepper. Mix well until evenly distributed.
  3. On a clean surface, lay out one sheet of phyllo pastry and lightly brush it with olive oil. Layer another sheet on top and brush it with oil as well.
  4. Cut the layered phyllo sheets into 4 equal strips lengthwise.
  5. Spoon approximately one tablespoon of the feta mixture onto the end of each strip.
  6. Fold the sides over the filling and roll up the pastry into a cylinder, sealing the filling inside.
  7. Place the rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet and space them out.
  8. Lightly brush the tops with olive oil and repeat the process until all rolls are ready.
Cooking
  1. Bake the rolls for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
  2. While the rolls are baking, prepare the chili honey by combining honey, chili flakes, and lemon juice in a small saucepan. Warm over low heat, stirring occasionally.
  3. Once baked, remove the rolls and let cool slightly. Drizzle warm chili honey over the rolls.

Notes

Work quickly with phyllo pastry to avoid drying out. You can add different herbs or spices to the filling, and for a vegan option, substitute feta with crumbled firm tofu.
