Ingredients
Scale
- 3 red beets with tops
- 3 golden beets with tops
- 6 carrots, halved lengthwise
- Olive oil, for roasting and dressing
- Salt, to taste
- 3 tablespoons olive oil (for dressing)
- 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- 1 teaspoon minced rosemary
- Burrata cheese
- Fresh rosemary sprigs, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Cut the tops off the beets, reserving the beet greens. Scrub beets clean, then halve and slice them.
- Clean the beet greens, remove ribs, and tear into pieces. Set aside.
- If using both red and golden beets, keep them separate to prevent color bleeding.
- Toss the sliced beets and halved carrots with olive oil and salt.
- Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Roast for 30 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.
- While vegetables roast, prepare the dressing: whisk together 3 tablespoons olive oil, white wine vinegar, honey, crushed garlic, and minced rosemary. Season with salt to taste.
- Just before the vegetables are done roasting, heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil.
- Quickly sauté the beet greens for about 2 minutes until lightly wilted.
- Transfer the sautéed beet greens to a platter to create a base.
- Arrange the roasted beets and carrots over the greens.
- Break open the burrata and place it on top of the vegetables.
- Drizzle the prepared dressing over the salad.
- Garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs.
Notes
- Keep red beets separate from other vegetables during roasting to avoid color bleeding.
- Adjust seasoning of the dressing to your preference.
- For a vegan option, substitute burrata with avocado or vegan cheese and honey with maple syrup.
