Ingredients
2 red beets, peeled and cut into wedges
2 golden beets, peeled and cut into wedges
3 large carrots, peeled and cut into sticks or coins
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 tsp fresh thyme or rosemary (optional)
1 ball burrata cheese (about 4 oz)
2 cups fresh arugula or baby greens
1 tbsp balsamic glaze or reduction (optional)
2 tbsp chopped pistachios or walnuts (optional)
Fresh basil or mint, for garnish
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Toss beets and carrots with olive oil, salt, pepper, and optional herbs.
Spread on a lined baking sheet in a single layer.
Roast for 30–35 minutes, turning once, until tender and slightly caramelized.
Let the vegetables cool slightly to room temperature.
On a serving platter or individual plates, layer arugula or greens as a base.
Arrange the roasted vegetables on top.
Tear the burrata and nestle chunks over the salad.
Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic glaze if using.
Sprinkle with nuts and fresh herbs for extra texture and flavor.
Serve immediately.
Notes
Cut vegetables to similar sizes for even roasting.
Use pre-cooked beets to save time, warming them before assembling.
Assemble just before serving to keep greens fresh and burrata creamy.
Substitute fresh mozzarella if burrata is unavailable.
This salad can be served warm or at room temperature for best texture.
