Spanakopita Spring Rolls
Another spin on the Greek flavor classics. These are adorable and perfect for your next get together, game night or the upcoming holidays.
The spring rolls are super easy to work with and these were so much fun to make. Make sure you rough chop your baby spinach. Saute the scallions and spinach quickly and make sure you pat it dry if it visually looks too oily.
The rest of the process is easy. Make sure you spray the rolls before your air fry them to get that golden color. Watch them in the air fryer, they can burn at the end since the spring roll paper is thin. FYI: You can probably sub the breadcrumbs with almond flour to make these gluten free.

Spanakopita Spring Rolls
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 tbs olive oil
- 2 scallions, chopped
- 5 handfuls baby spinach, rough chop
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup dill, chopped
- 4 oz feta cheese, crumbled
- 3/4 cup mozzarella, shredded
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1/3 cup breadcrumbs
- 12 spring roll wrappers
Instructions
- Heat your oil in a large skillet on medium. Add in the scallions and saute for 1-2 minutes. Add in the baby spinach (may have to work in two batches) and saute until just wilted. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove immediately from pan and allow to drain.
- In a large bowl, combine the spinach mixture, dill, feta and mozzarella until incorporated.
- Set up your work station, with the beaten egg in one bowl; the parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs mixed in a separate shallow bowl and a large plate with water to soften your spring roll sheets.
- Start off by submerging a spring roll wrapper completely in the water bowl for 10-15 seconds. Remove, pat dry and add 3 tbs spinach feta mixture on one side and just roll over, tucking in the sides as you roll. Dip the rolls first in the egg (allowing excess to drip off) and then dredge in the parm-breadcrumb mixture. Preheat your air fryer to 375° F. Working in two batches, spray your rolls with olive oil and air fry for 7 minutes or until golden in color. Remove and sprinkle with chili pepper flakes.

These are so delicious, I think your handfuls must be bigger than mine, as I was only able to make 8. Hard not to eat all 8 right away! Do you know if they’d freeze well?
I followed your recipe but I didn’t have an air fryer so I put them in the oven; it took 30 minutes to crisp up and all deflated. Is this recipe only for air fryers? And also 5 handfuls didn’t look good enough for the spinach; I added half a bag; did the spinach until wilted and didn’t have enough. My hands are very small. I really want to make these can you help me adjust the recipe, if possible?
Thanks so much for the recipe Stella! these are so good. I didn’t have spinach so used cooked broccoli instead and they turned out great. I don’t have an air fryer so I baked them in an oven at 375 degrees for 7 minutes each side. I sprayed each side with olive oil and they turned out so good. I would definitely make them again!!
fantastic! I cut the recipe down as I didn’t need as many…..I used paleo breadcrumbs and I did not have any fresh spinach in the house but found a bag of frozen organic in my freezer and it worked great. I used a wooden spoon to push the liquid out of it so it was perfect for the mixture. thank you!
