Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Sauté the chopped onion in 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and dill.

Lay out phyllo sheets on a clean surface, brushing each sheet lightly with olive oil before layering them.
Spoon filling onto one end of each layered phyllo sheet and fold over to form triangles.
Place triangles on a parchment-lined baking sheet, brush with remaining olive oil, and bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
