Ingredients
Scale
Gathering the right ingredients is half the fun, right? Here’s what you’ll need:
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
- 2 medium beets, peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 balls of burrata cheese
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, torn
- Balsamic glaze for drizzling
- Optional: 1 tablespoon honey for added sweetness
If you can’t find burrata, fresh mozzarella works as a great substitute. And if basil isn’t your thing, try using fresh mint or arugula for a peppery twist.
Instructions
Ready to get cooking? Follow these steps for a dish that’s as easy as it is delicious:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato and beet slices with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Arrange the slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
- While the vegetables are roasting, gently tear the burrata into pieces and set aside.
- Once the veggies are done, let them cool slightly. Then, stack alternating slices of sweet potatoes and beets on a serving platter.
- Top each stack with a generous piece of burrata, torn basil leaves, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze. If you like a bit of sweetness, add a drizzle of honey.
This recipe is forgiving, so don’t worry if your stacks look more like a pile. Remember, home cooking is about love, not perfection!
