A show-stopping side dish featuring caramelized carrots, creamy whipped ricotta, and a drizzle of hot honey.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb Baby Carrots, peeled
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • to taste Salt
  • to taste Pepper
  • 1/2 cup Ricotta Cheese
  • 1 tablespoon Honey
  • 1 teaspoon Hot Sauce (Adjust to taste)
  • to taste Fresh Parsley for garnish (Optional)

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup. Place the peeled baby carrots onto the pan.

  2. 2

    Drizzle the carrots with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to coat evenly, then spread the carrots into a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and lightly browned, flipping halfway through.

  3. 3

    While the carrots roast, add ricotta cheese to a mixing bowl. Using a hand mixer or a sturdy whisk, whip the ricotta until it’s light and fluffy (about 1-2 minutes). Set aside.

  4. 4

    In a small bowl, combine honey with your preferred amount of hot sauce. Stir until smooth; taste and adjust the spice level if desired.

  5. 5

    Spread a generous dollop of whipped ricotta onto a serving platter or individual plates. Arrange the hot roasted carrots over the ricotta.

  6. 6

    Drizzle the hot honey over the carrots and ricotta. Sprinkle with fresh parsley if using. Serve immediately and enjoy!
