Asabia el Aroos

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Lay out one sheet of defrosted filo dough on a clean, dry work surface. If using melted butter, lightly brush the entire surface with butter using a pastry brush.

Roll the filo sheet tightly from one long end, similar to rolling a cigar, creating a thin cylindrical log. Gently coil the rolled filo into a spiral shape, tucking the end underneath to secure it.

Place the coiled filo spiral on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining filo sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.

Lightly brush the top of each spiral with remaining melted butter if desired, or bake without butter for a lighter version.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the filo spirals are golden brown and crispy throughout.

Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes before transferring to a wire rack or serving plate. Serve warm or at room temperature.
