  • Author: Caroline Jones
  • Total Time: 28

Ingredients

Ingredients Needed 

For the Vegetables

• 1 bunch of fresh asparagus (about 1 lb), woody ends trimmed
• 2 cups cherry tomatoes (red, yellow, or mixed), halved if large
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

For the Assembly

• 1 large ball of burrata cheese (about 4 oz), or 2 small ones
• Fresh basil leaves (for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze or reduction (optional)
• Flaky sea salt (such as Maldon), for finishing
• Crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for a little heat)
• Crusty bread or crostini (optional, for serving)


Instructions

Step-by-Step 

Step 1: Prepare the Vegetables

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

  2. Arrange the trimmed asparagus and cherry tomatoes on the baking sheet in a single layer. Drizzle with olive oil, then season with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss gently to coat the vegetables evenly.

Step 2: Roast the Vegetables

  1. Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 15–18 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender and lightly browned, and the cherry tomatoes are softened and slightly blistered.

  2. Remove the tray from the oven and let the vegetables cool for a minute or two before transferring them to a serving dish.

Step 3: Assemble the Dish

  1. Arrange the roasted asparagus and tomatoes on a large serving platter or shallow bowl.

  2. Tear the burrata open gently and place it in the center or break it into pieces and scatter over the vegetables. Drizzle with balsamic glaze if using, and finish with flaky salt, fresh basil, and crushed red pepper flakes.
