Ingredients
-
½ cup Can’t Beet a Root - Beetroot Relish
-
400g greek feta
- 12 filo sheets
- Melted butter
- Lemon zest and finely chopped rosemary
- Sesame seeds
-
Sweet Sesh Hot Honey to drizzle
Directions
- Place a filo sheet on a cutting board and lightly brush it with melted butter. Fold the filo into thirds lengthways to create a long strip.
Place a piece of feta at one end of the filo strip. Add a teaspoon of beetroot relish and sprinkle with a pinch of lemon zest and rosemary.
Wrap the filo around the feta, then fold the short edges around the feta block to enclose it, brushing the edges with more butter if needed to seal the seam.
Repeat with the remaining filo, brushing each sheet with butter before folding and filling with the beetroot relish and feta.
- Brush the tops of the filo with a little more butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds and extra rosemary.
- Air fry the feta bites for 13 minutes at 200 degrees, or until golden and crispy.
- Arrange on a platter, drizzle with hot honey, and serve.
