Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a food processor, place garlic, feta, basil, and parsley. You may add in any additional herbs to the food processor at this point to boost flavor. Pulse until mixture is blended well. Transfer to medium sized bowl. Add spinach, parmesan, and salt to same bowl. Mix until well combined. Set aside.

Unroll phyllo dough. Lay first sheet of phyllo dough on a flat surface then gently brush with olive oil. Lay the next piece of phyllo right on top. Brush again with olive oil. Repeat with three more layers until you have a total of five layers. Try to work quickly during this part, the phyllo dough is sensitive to room temperature and is prone to drying out.

Spread 1/3 of spinach and feta filling all across the phyllo. Avoid spreading the filling 1/2 an inch from edges to prevent extra filling from spilling out. Roll the dough up into a long log starting from bottom. Make sure you don’t roll it too tightly, otherwise, it will crack at this next step. Very carefully roll dough into a spiral wheel, then transfer it to a round baking dish or oven-proof skillet. Repeat this process with the remaining sheets of phyllo.

Brush the top with olive oil and bake for 45 minutes. While spanakopita is baking, mix 2 tbsp of olive oil, remaining basil, and parsley. Remove spanakopita 5 minutes before finished baking and brush the top with herbed olive oil. Bake fore 5-10 more minutes until golden and crisp. Remove from oven and let cool 5 minutes before serving. Serve it as is or with Chimichurri sauce for dipping.
