by

INSTRUCTIONS:

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.
STEP 5: ASSEMBLE
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.
STEP 6: GARNISH & SERVE
Finish with fresh herbs and an extra drizzle of olive oil if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.
