Step 1
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium. Add diced onion, cook until softened, ~3 minutes.
Step 2
Add minced garlic, cook 30 seconds until fragrant, then add spinach in handfuls, stirring until fully wilted, ~4 minutes.
Step 3
Drain spinach in a fine-mesh sieve, pressing gently. Transfer to a bowl, fold in pine nuts, sumac, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
Step 4
Brush a phyllo sheet lightly with olive oil, fold in half to form a rectangle, brush again, then place 2 tbsp spinach filling on one corner.
Step 5
Fold phyllo into a triangle around the filling, sealing edges. Repeat with remaining sheets and filling. Arrange on a sheet pan, brush tops with remaining oil.
Step 6
Bake at 375°F for 12–14 minutes until golden and crispy. Serve warm.
