Notes

Whipped Ricotta

To make whipped ricotta to serve with the roasted carrots, beat one cup of whole milk ricotta with three tablespoons of heavy cream and two tablespoons of honey. Spread the whipped ricotta on a platter or plate and top with the roasted carrots.

Maple Glazed Carrots

Use 1/3 cup of pure maple syrup instead of the honey called for in the recipe.

Rainbow Carrots

If you purchase baby or petite rainbow carrots, you may not need to cut them into sticks. Glaze and roast them as directed in the recipe.

Air Fryer Glazed Carrots

Preheat the air fryer to 380˚F. Coat the carrot sticks with the glaze, and then air fry them in batches at 380˚F for 10-12 minutes, stirring halfway through.

Storage

Store cooled leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-5 days or in the freezer for 10-12 months. Reheat in the microwave, oven, or air fryer.
