3 pieces golden beets, roasted & sliced into rounds These sweet, tender gems bring brightness to your plate.
2 pieces red beets, roasted & sliced into rounds Their deep, earthy flavor contrasts beautifully with the golden variety.
1 ball fresh burrata cheese, torn into pieces Creamy and rich, it oozes delight in every bite.
1/4 cup pistachios, toasted & chopped These nuts add a satisfying crunch and a nutty aroma.
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil A drizzle of this golden oil adds a lush richness.
1 tbsp honey Sweet and floral, it enhances the natural sweetness of the beets.
1/2 tsp flaky sea salt A pinch of this brings all the flavors together.
1/2 tsp black pepper Adds just the right amount of warmth and spice.
to taste fresh thyme for garnish An aromatic finish that complements the dish beautifully.

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wrap the golden and red beets individually in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet.
Roast for 45-50 minutes, until they are tender when pierced with a fork. Once done, let them cool.
When cool enough to handle, peel off the skins and slice them into 1/2-inch thick rounds, revealing their vibrant hues.

Begin your towers with a slice of golden beet as the base.
Add a generous spoonful of creamy burrata on top, allowing it to spill around the edges.
Layer a slice of red beet next and repeat the layers, alternating colors, until your stack is tall and impressive.
End with a sumptuous mound of burrata crowned on top.

Sprinkle the toasted pistachios generously over the stacked beets.
Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and honey, allowing it to cascade over the colorful layers.
Sprinkle orange zest on top, followed by flaky sea salt and a dash of black pepper for that final touch of flavor.

Garnish your masterpiece with fresh thyme sprigs, adding a hint of herbal aroma.
Serve your Golden Beet & Burrata Stacks immediately.

For a healthier option, use low-fat burrata or a plant-based cheese. Ensure not to overcook the beets.
