Ingredients

Scale

1 lb baby carrots, peeled, 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt and pepper to taste, ½ cup ricotta cheese, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 teaspoon hot sauce (adjust to taste), fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

  • Toss the peeled baby carrots with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

  • Roast for 25–30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until tender and lightly caramelized.
