Prepare Lentil Filling:
- Puree the cooked lentils until smooth.
- In a bowl, combine the lentil puree with grated Parmesan cheese, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, and black pepper. Mix well to incorporate all the ingredients evenly.
-
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 325ยฐF (165ยฐC) to ensure it’s ready for baking the roll-ups.
-
Prepare Phyllo Pastry Sheets:
- Lay out the phyllo pastry sheets on a clean work surface. Carefully cut them into 6 x 8-inch pieces using a sharp knife or kitchen scissors.
- Lightly brush each piece with canola oil to prevent them from sticking together and to achieve a golden, crispy texture when baked.
-
Fill and Roll:
- Place approximately 1 teaspoon of the lentil filling along one end of each phyllo pastry sheet.
- Gently roll the pastry sheet over the filling once, then fold in the edges to seal in the filling.
- Continue rolling until you have a tight cylinder resembling a cigar. Repeat this process for the remaining pastry sheets and filling.
-
Bake:
- Arrange the filled pastry rolls on a non-stick baking sheet, leaving some space between each roll to allow for even baking.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the roll-ups for 15 to 20 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and crispy on the outside.
-
Serve and Enjoy:
- Once baked to perfection, remove the lentil roll-ups from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
- These Lentil Roll-Ups are best enjoyed warm as a delightful appetizer or as a main dish alongside your favorite side salad or dipping sauce.
