Beets

- 2 pieces red beets, roasted and sliced into rounds Adds color and flavor contrast.
Cheese
- 1 ball fresh burrata cheese, torn into creamy pieces Adds creaminess and richness.
Toppings
- 1/4 cup pistachios, toasted and coarsely chopped For added crunch.
- 1 piece zest of 1 orange Adds brightness.
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil Enhances flavor.
- 1 tablespoon honey For sweetness.
- 1/2 teaspoon flaky sea salt To enhance flavor.
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper For a hint of spice.
- to taste fresh thyme leaves For garnish.
Instructions
Roasting the Beets
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Wrap each beet in foil and place them on a baking sheet. Roast for 45–50 minutes until fork-tender. Let the beets cool, then peel them and slice into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
Assembling the Stacks
- Start building your stacks with a slice of golden beet at the base. Add a layer of the creamy burrata, then top with a slice of red beet. Continue layering, alternating between golden and red beets.
Garnishing
- Sprinkle the toasted pistachios over the assembled stacks. Drizzle with olive oil and honey. Finish with orange zest, flaky sea salt, and black pepper.
Serving
- Serve garnished with fresh thyme leaves.
Notes
Consider marinating the burrata in olive oil and herbs for added flavor. For a tangy sweetness, drizzle with balsamic glaze. Use a mandoline slicer for uniform beet slices.
