Juice from half a lemon
# Instructions:
01 -
Turn the oven up to 400°F (200°C) and get a baking sheet ready by lining it with parchment paper. This makes cleaning super easy!
02 -
Put your beet wedges and carrot sticks into a large bowl. Drizzle them with olive oil, sprinkle the salt, pepper, thyme, and paprika, and then toss until every piece is nicely coated.
03 -
Spread the veggies out on your parchment-lined baking sheet. Slide them into the oven, and roast for about 35-40 minutes, flipping them over halfway through. You’ll know they’re ready when they’re tender and beautifully browned.
04 -
As the veggies roast, grab a small bowl. Combine balsamic glaze, olive oil, honey (if you have a sweet tooth), mustard, and lemon juice. Whisk until smooth, then tweak the seasonings if needed.
05 -
Spread out the greens of your choice on a big platter. Arrange the roasted carrots and beets on top. Break the burrata into chunks and layer it between the vegetables. Pour the dressing all over, letting it soak in.
06 -
Take the chopped nuts and scatter them across the salad for some crunch. Lastly, sprinkle fresh parsley and basil leaves all over. Serve while the veggies are warm, and enjoy the burrata melting into everything.
# Notes:
01 -
The warm veggies and the silky burrata make a fantastic blend of textures and temperatures.
