Roasted Carrots with Whipped Ricotta and Hot Honey

• Crushed pistachios or walnuts (for crunch)

• Fresh thyme or mint leaves

• Pomegranate arils (for pop and color)

• Flaky sea salt (Maldon-style)

• A dash of za’atar or dukkah for a Middle Eastern twist

• Grilled sourdough or pita to scoop it all up

SUCCESS TIPS (PRO MOVES)

1. Go big on the roast: High heat is key — you want those crispy, caramelized edges.

2. Use whole-milk ricotta: The flavor is richer, the texture is fluffier.

3. Don’t skip the zest: Lemon zest in the ricotta brings freshness that cuts through the richness.

4. Customize your heat: Adjust the pepper flakes in your hot honey to match your spice vibe.

5. Plate with intention: This dish is just as much about visual vibes as it is flavor. Build it like art.
