Baklava Sticks - Easiest Recipe

• total tid: 32 minutes

Ingredienser

6 sheets phyllo dough, thawed

Oil spray (I used avocado oil)

½ cup walnuts

½ cup pistachios

½ cup pecans

¼ cup sugar

1 tsp cinnamon

For the Rosewater Syrup:

1 cup sugar

1 cup water

1 tbsp rosewater essence

Vejledning

Prep the phyllo: Measure and trim sheets so they fit your pan. Keep them covered with a clean kitchen towel to prevent drying.

Make the filling: Finely crush the nuts (not powdery, but no big chunks). Toss with sugar and cinnamon.

Assemble: Take one sheet of phyllo, lightly spray with oil, and sprinkle on the nut mixture. Using your hands, push the dough up from the bottom so it crinkles like an accordion. Place into a greased pan. Repeat with remaining sheets.

Cut & bake: Slice into 3-inch pieces, spray lightly again, and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25–30 minutes, until golden.

Make the syrup: In a saucepan, bring sugar, water, and rosewater essence to a boil. Simmer 5 minutes, then let cool slightly.

Finish: Pour the warm syrup over the baked baklava sticks, letting them soak up all that fragrant sweetness.

Tip: Traditionally baklava is made with butter, but oil works just as well — and it’s a perfect dairy-free option!
