Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb fresh carrots
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
- 1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
- 1 tbsp honey
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare the Carrots: Wash and peel the carrots, then slice them into uniform pieces for even cooking. Toss them in olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Roast the Carrots: Spread the seasoned carrots on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until they are fork-tender and golden brown.
- Whip the Ricotta: While the carrots roast, combine ricotta cheese and honey in a mixing bowl. Use a hand mixer or whisk vigorously until the mixture is creamy and fluffy.
- Assemble and Serve: Once the carrots are done roasting, let them cool slightly before plating alongside generous dollops of whipped ricotta.
- Enjoy: Drizzle any remaining honey over top if desired, and serve your beautiful creation warm.
