Cooking Instructions

  3. Roast for 20 to 30 minutes until crispy.
  4. In a food processor, combine ricotta cheese ingredients. Pulse until smooth and creamy. If too thick, add additional extra virgin olive oil until your desired consistency is reached. Set aside at room temperature until the carrots have finished roasting.
