Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Peel the carrots and cut them into uniform pieces, aiming for about 1-inch thick cuts.
  3. Spread the carrots evenly on a baking sheet, ensuring they have enough space to roast.
  4. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, black pepper, cumin, coriander, and smoked paprika. Toss to coat.
  5. Roast the carrots in the oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through until fork-tender.
  6. Whip the ricotta cheese in a bowl until smooth and creamy.
  7. Gradually mix in honey, red pepper flakes, and lemon juice until fully incorporated.
  8. Once the carrots are done, allow them to cool slightly. Spread the whipped ricotta on a serving platter.
  9. Top with roasted carrots, drizzle hot honey over, and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
  10. Serve warm as a side dish or centerpiece for any meal.
