08 -
2 handfuls of arugula leaves or mixed salad greens
09 -
A whole burrata cheese ball (8 ounces)
10 -
2 tablespoons each of finely chopped parsley and fresh basil leaves
11 -
1/4 cup of chopped walnuts or pistachios for extra crunch
→ Flavorful Dressing
12 -
1 tablespoon of olive oil
13 -
2 tablespoons balsamic glaze for sweetness
14 -
1/2 teaspoon Dijon to give a kick
15 -
Juice squeezed from half a lemon
16 -
1 teaspoon of honey (optional, for added sweetness)
# Instructions:
01 -
Heat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lay down parchment paper on your baking sheet for quick cleanup.
02 -
In a big bowl, mix the carrot sticks and beet wedges with olive oil, thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss everything so the vegetables are coated nicely.
03 -
Place your veggies on the prepared baking sheet, spreading them out evenly. Roast for 35 to 40 minutes, flipping them halfway. They should soften up and get those caramelized edges.
04 -
While the roasting happens, grab a small bowl and whisk together balsamic glaze, olive oil, Dijon mustard, fresh lemon juice, and honey if you'd like. Adjust the flavor to taste.
05 -
Take a serving platter and arrange your greens first. Add the warm roasted veggies on top, then tear apart the burrata and dot the pieces around the plate. Pour your dressing all over.
06 -
Sprinkle the chopped nuts over everything for a bit of crunch. Top off with a few fresh parsley and basil leaves for color and flavor. Enjoy it while the veggies are still warm and the burrata is creamy.
# Notes:
01 -
The warm veggies paired with the cool, creamy burrata make for an amazing texture combo.
