Preheat oven to 200°C or 180°C fan-forced. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Combine ricotta, cinnamon and half the honey in a medium bowl.

Lightly spray 1 sheet of filo with oil. Fold in half widthways, then in half widthways again to form a 22 x 14cm rectangle. Place 2 tablespoons ricotta mixture along 1 long end of pastry, leaving a 2cm border on both sides. Fold in sides, then roll up to enclose filling. Repeat with remaining ricotta mixture and filo to make 7 more rolls.

Place rolls on prepared tray and lightly spray with oil. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden and crisp.
