Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F. In a skillet, heat 2 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 small finely chopped onion and sauté for 4 minutes until soft. Add 1 minced garlic clove and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
2. Step 2: Stir in 10 oz chopped fresh spinach, cooking until wilted and most moisture evaporates, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
3. Step 3: Transfer the spinach mixture to a bowl and mix in 6 oz crumbled feta cheese, 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill, 1 tsp lemon zest, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
4. Step 4: Lay one sheet of thawed phyllo dough on a clean surface and brush with 1 tbsp olive oil. Place another sheet on top and brush with another 1 tbsp olive oil.
5. Step 5: Cut the layered phyllo sheets into 3-inch wide strips. Place 1-2 tbsp filling at the edge of each strip and fold into triangles by folding corner over corner repeatedly until the strip is fully folded.
6. Step 6: Place the triangles seam side down on a baking sheet and brush tops with remaining 3 tbsp olive oil.
7. Step 7: Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and crisp. Let cool slightly before serving.
