Just do it. If she's not interested she'll make it clear and at that point you can make it clear you still want to be friends. And then follow through. If she tells you she's not interested, she's not interested and never will be so just move on with it and accept that you'll just be friends with her.
I've never had a friendship ruined by someone expressing an interesting in going further that the other doesn't share, regardless of which side of it I was on. She obviously wants to be your friend and she's not going to suddenly change her mind if you tell her you want more.
Odds are she knows already anyway; women are pretty good at picking up on these things. And by the way for the purposes of this discussion if she says something like 'I'm not ready for a relationship right now' then that means she's not interested.
