Steps

1

Prepare Spinach

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the fresh spinach and cook until wilted (about 3-5 minutes). Remove from heat, squeeze out any excess water, then roughly chop.

2

Make the Filling

In a bowl, combine the cream cheese, chopped spinach, grated Parmesan cheese, oregano (if using), salt, and pepper to taste. Mix well until creamy and thoroughly combined.

3

Assemble the Rolls

Lay out the drained roasted red pepper strips on a cutting board. Place about a tablespoon of the spinach filling onto each pepper strip, then carefully roll them up. Repeat with all pepper strips.

4

Bake and Serve

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Arrange the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the rolls are heated through. Serve warm or cold, as an appetizer or a side dish.

Extra Tips

If using fresh peppers, roast them at 200°C (400°F) for about 20-25 minutes until soft and slightly charred, then peel them.

You can prepare these rolls in advance and serve them either cold or warm before serving.

Experiment with other seasonings, like a pinch of nutmeg in the spinach filling or fresh basil on top of the rolls.
