Ingredients

• Phyllo dough - 6 sheets
• Olive oil - 3 tablespoons
• Onion - 1 medium, finely chopped
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Carrot - 1 medium, grated
• Zucchini - 1 medium, grated
• Bell pepper - 1/2, diced
• Spinach - 100 grams, chopped
• Feta cheese - 100 grams, crumbled
• Fresh dill - 1 tablespoon, chopped
• Fresh parsley - 1 tablespoon, chopped
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Egg - 1, beaten (for egg wash)

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until transparent.
3. Add the grated carrot, zucchini, and diced bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
4. Stir in the chopped spinach and cook until wilted. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
5. In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked vegetables with crumbled feta cheese, fresh dill, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
6. Lay one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean surface and brush lightly with olive oil. Place a second sheet on top and brush again.
7. Spoon a portion of the vegetable mixture along one edge of the phyllo, leaving about 5 cm (2 inches) on the sides.
8. Fold the sides of the phyllo over the filling and roll tightly to form a log. Place the strudel seam side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
9. Repeat the process with the remaining phyllo sheets and filling.
10. Brush the tops of the strudels with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
11. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
12. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm.
