Roasted Beets and Burrata Tasty Autumn Side Dish
If you are a fan of beets, you probably like them raw or cooked then this recipe is one to add to your list. This tasty dish combines roasted beets with fresh burrata and hazelnuts. Aspiring chef Ben James served this recipe for an Autumn weather feast along with eight other dishes. Of course, your guests will finish the whole thing, but if not try the roasted beets as a salad for lunch the next day.
Thyme-Roasted Beets with Whipped Burrata and Hazelnuts
In my opinion an underused vegetable, this smart recipe highlights the deep rich flavour of the beetroot. Scented with garlic, thyme and dill, it complements the smooth creamy burrata and the fresh tartness of the lemon.

- 1/2 bulb Garlic
- 50 g hazelnuts whole

- Season the beets with salt & pepper.
- Toss the beets with the garlic and thyme and then roast for 40 minutes.

- Meanwhile, in a food processor, pulse the burrata, lemon juice and zest with a pinch of salt until smooth and fluffy.
- Spoon into a bowl and chill until needed.
- When the beetroot is ready, remove and allow to cool slightly.
