Roasted Carrots with Ricotta

Roasted Carrots with Ricotta

Nora
Sweet, caramelized roasted carrots meet creamy, rich ricotta in this simple yet elegant dish. The natural sweetness of the carrots intensifies in the oven, creating a slightly crispy exterior while remaining tender inside. Paired with creamy ricotta, fresh herbs, and a drizzle of olive oil, it’s the perfect balance of savory and sweet.
