STEP 1: ROAST THE CARROTS
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss carrots with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway, until tender and slightly caramelized.
STEP 2: MAKE THE WHIPPED RICOTTA
In a small bowl, whisk together ricotta cheese, lemon juice, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
STEP 3: PREPARE THE HOT HONEY
Warm honey gently in a saucepan or microwave. Stir in chili flakes and let infuse for a few minutes.
STEP 4: TOAST THE ALMONDS
In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast sliced almonds until golden brown, about 2–3 minutes. Set aside.
Spread a generous layer of whipped ricotta on a serving plate. Arrange the roasted carrots over the ricotta. Drizzle with hot honey and sprinkle toasted almonds on top.
Finish with fresh herbs and an extra drizzle of olive oil if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.
