1. Prepare the Crust:
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss carrots with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes until tender and caramelized.
While carrots roast, whip ricotta in a food processor or blender until smooth and creamy. Spread the whipped ricotta on a serving platter.

Arrange roasted carrots over the whipped ricotta. Drizzle with hot honey and garnish with fresh thyme before serving.
