Roasted Peppers with Burrata and Garlic Spread
These Roasted Bell Peppers with Burrata and homemade garlic spread are such a great summer appetizer that can be enjoyed outside!
This truly is an easy appetizer. The peppers are roasted with olive oil (can also be grilled) and and served up alongside creamy burrata cheese and toasted baguette. I wanted to add something else to this dish and that’s where the roasted garlic spread comes in. All I did was roast a head of garlic, mash it with olive oil, S+P.
This delightful summery appetizer is exactly what your summer parties need. Enjoy this appetizer warm or cold, they’re delicious either way you serve them!!
Roasted Peppers with Burrata and Garlic Spread
Ingredients:
For the peppers:
your favorite peppers, I used orange, red, green and shishito peppers
olive oil
juice of 1 lemon
S+P
red pepper flakes
1 baguette, sliced
8 ounces burrata cheese, at room temperatureolive oil
For the Roasted Garlic Spread:
2 whole heads of garlic
olive oil
S+P
Instructions:
Slice the top of the garlic to expose the top of the cloves off and discard the papery layers, place it in foil and rub olive oil all over it, roast it in the oven at 400 for 20-30 minutes or until the cloves are lightly browned and feel soft when pressed.
Next, turn up the oven to 425, slice the peppers in 4, discarding the seeds place them on a sheet pan a lined with parchment paper (cut side down) rub olive oil and sprinkle salt and red peppers flakes on the peppers and roast for 15-20 minutes or until the skins are very dark and have collapsed. (There is no need to rotate or turn the peppers.) Once the skins are blackened remove the peppers from the oven. Alternatively, you can grill the peppers until charred if you don’t want to use the oven.
Take the garlic cloves out of the skin and place them in a bowl. mash the garlic and drizzle with olive oil and season with a little bit of S+P. place in a small bowl until ready to serve.
Place the peppers on a serving plate and break the balls of burrata around the peppers. Toast the bread slices in the oven for 4-5 minutes until crispy.
To eat, rub the garlic spread on a piece of bread, add whatever pepper you want and place some of the burrata on top!
Enjoy!
