Step 1
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat for 90 seconds.
Step 2
Add onion and cook for 2 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Step 3
Add spinach by handfuls, stirring, until completely wilted and any liquid cooks off, ~4 minutes.
Step 4
Stir in feta, garlic, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat.
Step 5
Lay one phyllo sheet on a work surface. Brush lightly with olive oil. Fold in half lengthwise.
Step 6
Spoon 2–3 tbsp spinach filling onto one end. Fold into a triangle, tucking edges as you go. Repeat with remaining phyllo and filling.
Step 7
Arrange triangles seam-side down on a lined baking sheet. Brush tops lightly with olive oil.
Step 8
Bake at 400°F for 10–12 minutes until golden and crispy. Sprinkle pine nuts if using. Serve warm.
