Ingredients
3 medium beets, peeled and sliced
3 large carrots, peeled and sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 ball fresh burrata cheese (about 4 oz)
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
1 teaspoon balsamic glaze or honey (optional)
Zest of ½ lemon (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Peel and slice the beets and carrots into uniform ½-inch rounds or pieces.
3. Place the vegetables in a mixing bowl and toss with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
4. Spread the veggies in a single layer on the baking sheet, keeping red beets separate if needed.
5. Roast for 30–35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and tender.
6. Transfer the roasted veggies to a serving plate or shallow bowl.
7. Place the burrata in the center, allowing it to soften at room temperature.
8. Drizzle with extra olive oil, balsamic glaze or honey (if using), and lemon zest.
9. Finish with fresh parsley and a crack of pepper.
10. Serve warm, breaking open the burrata just before eating.
Notes
Let the burrata sit at room temperature before serving for the best creamy texture.
Don’t overcrowd your baking sheet — veggies need space to caramelize.
Try golden beets or rainbow carrots for a beautiful color contrast and milder flavor.
