Ingredients
For the Beet Stacks
- 3 golden beets, roasted and sliced into rounds
- 2 red beets, roasted and sliced into rounds
- 1 fresh burrata cheese ball, torn into creamy pieces
- 1/4 cup pistachios, toasted and coarsely chopped
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 teaspoon flaky sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- fresh thyme leaves, for garnish
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Wrap each beet in foil, then place them on a baking sheet. Roast for 45–50 minutes, or until they are fork-tender. Once they’re cool, peel and slice them into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
Layering
- Start with a golden beet slice as the base on your serving platter. Add a generous spoonful of creamy burrata, then place a slice of red beet on top. Continue layering, alternating between golden and red beet slices, and finish with a final dollop of burrata.
Finishing Touches
- Sprinkle the stacked beets with toasted pistachios for a crunchy bite. Drizzle your creation with extra virgin olive oil and honey. Finish with the zest of the orange, a sprinkle of flaky sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper for a well-rounded flavor.
Garnish and Serve
- Top off your stacks with fresh thyme leaves before serving.
Notes
Consider marinating the beets in olive oil, salt, and pepper for an hour before roasting for enhanced flavor. Optional toppings like arugula or microgreens can add a peppery kick.
