• 2 tbsp (30 ml) olive oil
• 1 tbsp (15 ml) balsamic vinegar

• 1 tsp honey (optional)
• Fresh thyme or basil, for garnish
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Slice sweet potatoes and beet evenly and place on the sheet.
3. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, then season with salt and pepper.
4. Toss everything to coat and spread in a single layer.
5. Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and caramelized.

Notes
– Use aged balsamic for a deeper, richer glaze.
– Burrata is best added just before serving to keep its creamy texture.
– Substitute fresh mozzarella, ricotta, or goat cheese if burrata isn’t available.
– Toast pistachios lightly for even more crunch and flavor.
– Store leftover vegetables separately; assemble fresh for best results.
