Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Coat baking sheeting with cooking spray and set aside. Place one sheet of phyllo dough on wax paper; coat evenly with spray. Repeat layering and spraying the phyllo two more times (using a total of 3 sheets).

Cut the stack of prepared dough horizontally into six strips, then vertically into 4 strips; ending up with 24 squares. Place a teaspoon of spinach filling into the center of each square and fold in half so square is now a triangle.
