Using one sheet of phyllo dough at a time, brush the dough with the melted butter/oil. Fold the sheet of dough lengthwise and repeat.
Put 1 tbsp of onion/spinach mixture at the top corner of the phyllo dough. Fold one corner to form a triangle and continue folding until the entire sheet of dough is used.
Brush the top and bottom of the triangles with the butter/oil mixture, then bake for 15 minutes until crispy or golden.
