Roasted Carrots with Whipped Ricotta & Hot Honey is a flavorful and elegant side dish featuring tender roasted carrots, creamy whipped ricotta, and a drizzle of spicy-sweet hot honey. Perfect for holidays or weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs carrots, peeled and cut on a bias
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup whole milk ricotta
  • 1 tbsp heavy cream
  • 1/2 tsp lemon zest
  • 1/4 tsp salt (for ricotta)
  • 2 tbsp hot honey (or regular honey with a pinch of chili flakes)
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Toss the sliced carrots with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them in an even layer on the baking sheet.
  3. Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway, until the carrots are tender and caramelized.
  4. While the carrots roast, add ricotta, heavy cream, lemon zest, and salt to a food processor or blender. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  5. To serve, spread the whipped ricotta on a platter, top with roasted carrots, and drizzle with hot honey.
  6. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Use rainbow carrots for a colorful presentation.
  • If you don’t have hot honey, mix regular honey with a pinch of chili flakes or hot sauce.
  • Whipped ricotta can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 2 days.
