Ingredients

Scale

For this Vibrant Roasted Beets & Carrots with Creamy Burrata Salad, you will need the following ingredients:

  • 3 medium beets, peeled and cut into wedges
  • 3 medium carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme or rosemary (optional)
  • 1 ball of fresh burrata cheese
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • Fresh arugula or mixed greens (optional)
  • Chopped walnuts or pistachios for crunch (optional)

Instructions

Roast the Vegetables:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Prepare the Vegetables: Peel and cut the beets and carrots into wedges or pieces. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  3. Season: Drizzle the vegetables with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and fresh thyme or rosemary (if using). Toss to coat evenly.
  4. Roast the Vegetables: Roast the beets and carrots in the oven for about 30 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized. Toss halfway through the roasting time for even cooking.
  5. Remove and Cool: Once the vegetables are roasted, remove them from the oven and set them aside to cool slightly.

Prepare the Dressing:

  1. Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar and honey until smooth. If you like a tangier dressing, you can add a teaspoon of Dijon mustard for extra flavor.
  2. Set Aside: Set the dressing aside while you assemble the salad.

Assemble the Salad:

  1. Arrange the Greens (Optional): If using, arrange a bed of fresh arugula or mixed greens on a serving platter.
  2. Add the Roasted Vegetables: Arrange the roasted beets and carrots on top of the greens.
  3. Add the Burrata: Tear the burrata cheese into pieces and scatter it over the roasted vegetables.
  4. Dress the Salad: Drizzle the balsamic and honey dressing over the salad, ensuring that the flavors coat the vegetables and cheese.

Serve and Garnish:

  1. Garnish: If desired, sprinkle the salad with chopped walnuts or pistachios for added texture and a bit of crunch.
  2. Serve: Serve the salad immediately, or refrigerate it for up to an hour before serving for a chilled option.
