Instructions

Prepare the chili honey: In a small saucepan, combine honey and chili flakes. Heat over low heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Optionally, add apple cider vinegar for tang. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
Prepare the feta filling: In a bowl, mix crumbled feta, ricotta cheese (if using), garlic powder, onion powder, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper.
Assemble the rolls: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lay a sheet of phyllo dough on a clean surface, brush with olive oil, and layer another sheet on top, brushing again. Repeat for 3-4 sheets. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the feta mixture along one edge and roll tightly into a cylinder, folding in the edges. Place seam-side down on a baking sheet.
Bake the rolls: Brush the rolls with olive oil and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
Serve: Drizzle the baked rolls with chili honey and garnish with extra parsley, if desired.

Notes

You can substitute goat cheese or cream cheese for feta for a different flavor.
Freeze the assembled rolls before baking for later use. Bake from frozen at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes.
For a milder flavor, adjust the chili flakes or omit the vinegar in the chili honey sauce.
