Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds baby or regular carrots
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon flaky sea salt
- Black pepper, to taste
- 1 cup fresh ricotta cheese
- 2 tablespoons hot honey
- Optional: Chopped fresh herbs (like parsley or dill), chili flakes
Instructions

Notes
You can make the carrots and ricotta ahead of time; just reheat the carrots before serving. Experiment with different seasonings and toppings to customize the flavor.
