Can I call protected environment variables through the backend and use it in the frontend?

I was thinking of using a protected route in the backend of my NextJS project and fetch that route for the API key, but I would then have to protect the private route in the backend. I'm asking the question, since I'm not sure if whether or not this is a good approach to use some protected environment variables.
