Ingredients

Scale

  • 1½ lbs carrots, peeled and halved lengthwise

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • 1 cup whole milk ricotta

  • 1 tbsp olive oil (for ricotta)

  • Zest of ½ lemon

  • 1–2 tsp lemon juice

  • ¼ cup honey

  • ½–1 tsp red pepper flakes (to taste)

  • Optional: chopped herbs, toasted nuts, pomegranate seeds

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss carrots with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast 25–30 minutes until caramelized.

  2. In a food processor, blend ricotta, lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper until smooth.

  3. Warm honey and stir in red pepper flakes. Let infuse while carrots roast.

  4. Spread whipped ricotta on a platter. Top with roasted carrots and drizzle with hot honey.

  5. Garnish with herbs, nuts, or seeds if desired.

Notes

For smoother ricotta, drain before whipping. Make hot honey ahead for more infused heat. Serve warm or at room temperature.
