Roasted carrots are tossed with olive oil and seasonings, then served over whipped ricotta cheese and drizzled with hot honey for a sweet and spicy side dish.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 pounds carrots, peeled and trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup whole-milk ricotta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Toss the carrots with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Spread the carrots on the baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and caramelized.
  4. While the carrots are roasting, whip the ricotta cheese in a bowl until smooth and creamy.
