Instructions

  1. Step
    Pre-heat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Step
    In a large pot over high heat, bring generously salted water to a rolling boil. Add the carrots and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, just until slightly tender but still firm. Drain well and allow them to cool slightly until safe to handle.
  3. Step
    Once cool enough, pat dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel to remove excess moisture. Slice the carrots lengthwise into thick strips.
  4. Step
    Transfer carrots to a bowl and toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. Arrange in a single layer on the prepared sheet.
  5. Step
    Roast carrots for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and caramelized with lightly crisp edges.
  6. Step
    Meanwhile, in a medium bowl or food processor, blend the ricotta and feta with 1 tablespoon milk until smooth and creamy. Add more milk as needed to create a soft, spreadable texture. Set aside.
  7. Step
    In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Continue cooking, swirling occasionally, until the butter foams, turns golden brown, and smells nutty, about 3–5 minutes. Remove from heat immediately.
  8. Step
    Spread the whipped cheese mixture onto a serving plate. Top with the roasted carrots and spoon the warm brown butter over top. Finish with fresh herbs and lemon zest, if using.
