how to make Sweet Potato & Burrata Stacks

Ingredients :

2 large sweet potatoes (peeled and sliced into 1 cm rounds)
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
200 g fresh burrata (2 small balls or 1 large)
Fresh basil or microgreens (for garnish)
Cracked black pepper (to taste)
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp finely chopped parsley
1 tsp lemon zest
Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions :

Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F). Toss the sweet potato rounds with olive oil, sea salt, and smoked paprika. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are tender and golden.
In a small bowl, whisk together extra virgin olive oil, chopped parsley, lemon zest, and red pepper flakes to make the herb oil. Let it infuse while the sweet potatoes roast.
Once the sweet potato rounds are slightly cooled, layer 2–3 rounds with torn burrata in between each one. Stack 2 or 3 high.
Drizzle the herb oil generously over the stacks, garnish with fresh basil or microgreens, and finish with cracked black pepper. Enjoy!
