Tips
Add fresh herbs to the filling (dill, parsley, and oregano will go well with ricotta and spinach).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you prefer to add an oniony flavor, add scallions or chives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For a real Greek flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg to the filling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For extra saltiness, add crumbled feta cheese to the filling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can also use frozen spinach instead of baby spinach. Allow the spinach to thaw completely, then squeeze out the excess moisture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How To Store Spanakopita Rolls
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for 10 minutes. Reheating them in the microwave will make them go soggy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can I Make Spanakopita Rolls in the Airfryer?
Yes, you can! Place the rolls in a single layer in the air fryer basket, and air fry at 200\u00b0C\/400\u00b0F for about 20 minutes until golden and cooked through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Can I Make It Ahead of Time?
Yes, you can! To make the spanakopita rolls ahead of time, make the filling and assemble the puff pastry rolls. Place on a baking sheet. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. Bake adding 5 to 10 minutes to the cooking time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
