Ingredients
  

For the Stacks
  • 2 large Sweet Potatoes peeled and sliced
  • 2 medium Beets peeled and sliced
  • 8 ounces Burrata torn into pieces
  • 1/2 cup Walnuts chopped
For the Pesto
  • 1/2 cup Basil Pesto store-bought or homemade
For Seasoning
  • 3 tablespoons Olive Oil for roasting
  • to taste Salt
  • to taste Pepper

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Mandoline
  • baking sheets
  • cutting board

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Wash and peel the sweet potatoes and beets, then cut them into uniform slices about ¼ inch thick, preferably using a mandoline for evenness.
  2. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly coat each slice of sweet potato and beet with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Spread the slices in a single layer on separate baking sheets.
Cooking
  1. Roast the sweet potatoes for 25-30 minutes and the beets for 30-35 minutes, until they are tender and slightly caramelized around the edges.
Assembly
  1. Once the vegetable slices have cooled slightly, begin assembling your stacks. Place one slice of sweet potato on a serving plate, top with a slice of beet, and spread basil pesto over both.
  2. Continue layering the slices, alternating between sweet potato and beet, creating a visually appealing tower.
  3. Tear pieces of fresh burrata and place them on top of the final layer. Sprinkle chopped walnuts over each stack.
Serving
  1. Carefully transfer the assembled stacks onto a flat serving dish or individual plates and serve immediately.
