Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Peel and trim your carrots into uniform pieces for even roasting. Toss them in a bowl with olive oil, salt, and pepper until they're well coated.
Cooking
  1. Spread the seasoned carrots on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast them for 25-30 minutes until they’re tender and slightly caramelized.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese with a pinch of salt and a drizzle of olive oil. Use an electric mixer or whisk vigorously until it reaches a fluffy consistency.
  3. Drizzle hot honey over the roasted carrots while they’re still warm.
  4. Spoon whipped ricotta onto each plate, top with roasted carrots, then finish by drizzling additional hot honey over everything.
