This dish is versatile, budget-friendly, and easy to make, perfect as a side, appetizer, or vegetarian main.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb carrots, peeled and halved lengthwise
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons hot honey
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (optional)
  • Flaky salt, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, toss the carrots with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  3. Spread the carrots in a single layer on the prepared sheet pan, cut side down.
  4. Roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the carrots are golden and tender.
  5. While the carrots are roasting, combine the ricotta cheese, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt in a food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  6. To assemble, spread the whipped ricotta on a serving platter.
  7. Arrange the warm roasted carrots over the whipped ricotta.
  8. Drizzle with hot honey and sprinkle with fresh thyme leaves and flaky salt.
  9. Serve immediately or at room temperature.

Notes

  • For a more colorful presentation, use rainbow carrots.
  • Warming the hot honey slightly before drizzling will help it flow more easily.
  • Serve with crostini or warm pita bread for scooping.
  • Consider adding fresh herbs like dill or mint for an extra layer of freshness.
