Description
Flatbread with Burrata, Roasted Beets & Orange Zest is a vibrant and easy-to-make dish that layers creamy burrata, earthy roasted beets, and fresh citrus zest over warm flatbread. Perfect for brunch, entertaining, or a cozy night in.
Ingredients
• 2 flatbreads or naan
• 2 medium beets (about 300 g), roasted and sliced
• 200 g (7 oz) burrata cheese
• 2 tablespoons (30 ml) olive oil
• Zest of 1 orange
• 1 tablespoon (15 ml) balsamic glaze (optional)
• Fresh basil or arugula, for garnish
• Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place flatbreads on a parchment-lined baking sheet and brush with olive oil.
2. Roast the beets if not done already: wrap in foil and bake until tender (45–60 minutes), then peel and slice.
3. Toast the oiled flatbreads for 5–7 minutes until slightly crisp and golden.
4. Tear burrata and spread over warm flatbreads.
5. Top with sliced beets, salt, and pepper.
6. Zest orange directly over the flatbread.
7. Drizzle with balsamic glaze, if using.
8. Garnish with fresh basil or arugula and serve immediately.
Notes
– Fresh mozzarella can replace burrata if needed.
– Lemon zest works in place of orange for a sharper citrus kick.
– Use pre-cooked beets to save time.
– Best served fresh, but leftovers can be stored in the fridge for 2 days.
– Reheat in oven or skillet; avoid microwaving to prevent soggy bread.
