I just made this and holy moly, it's delicious! I didn't bother to coat the pods in olive before roasting (mostly because I didn't want to wash my roasting rack because it's hot outside and I'm lazy), and I used store-made ricotta (again, hot and lazy), and yet this was still really delicious! Thanks for a great recipe :)

CarlaCooks, I am right there with you on hot and lazy! I'm glad you found a method that works for you! And I'm glad you enjoyed the recipe. Thanks for the note!

I love the combination of ricotta and fava beans. But I've never roasted my favas, what a great idea! I haven't made fresh ricotta before but have always used buttermilk. You've motivated me to make some now, but I want to try your recipe! Thanks for posting this.

i've never made ricotta with buttermilk, and now i'm inspired to try your method : )

Good call! Wish I'd tackled a fava crostini for this week's theme. :)

there's no reason you shouldn't-- there's at least one other fava crostini recipe entered already, and who wouldn't love a food52 fava crostini smackdown? : )
