Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Scallions
- 6 sheets Phyllo dough sheets
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and trim the scallions, removing the root ends and any wilted green tops. Pat dry with a paper towel.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat and stir in salt and black pepper.
Cut each phyllo dough sheet in half lengthwise, creating 12 strips in total.
Lightly brush one phyllo strip with the garlic butter mixture. Place a scallion at one end of the strip and roll it up, tightly but gently, until the scallion is completely wrapped.
Repeat this process with the remaining scallions and phyllo strips.
Arrange the wrapped scallions on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly brush the tops with olive oil and sprinkle sesame seeds evenly over them.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the phyllo dough is golden brown and crispy.
Let the wrapped scallions cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm as a light appetizer or side dish.
