Roasted Asparagus Flatbread with Burrata (Printable)

Crisp flatbread with roasted asparagus, creamy burrata and lemon for a bright spring starter.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Flatbread Base

01 - 2 store-bought flatbreads or naan (8-inch each)
02 - 1 tablespoon olive oil

→ Vegetables

03 - 7 oz (about 1 bunch) fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into thirds
04 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
05 - 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
06 - 1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper

→ Cheese

07 - 7 oz burrata

→ Flavor Boosters

08 - Zest of 1 lemon
09 - 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
10 - 2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves, torn
11 - 1 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)

# Directions:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Toss asparagus with 1 tablespoon olive oil, sea salt and cracked black pepper in a bowl. Spread in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and roast 10–12 minutes until just tender and lightly charred; remove and set aside.
03 - Brush each flatbread lightly with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Place on a separate oven tray or directly on the oven rack and bake 4–6 minutes until edges are crisp and the surface begins to brown; remove from oven.
04 - Gently press an individual burrata onto each warm flatbread, allowing it to soften and spread without covering the entire surface.
05 - Arrange roasted asparagus evenly over the burrata. Drizzle with lemon juice, scatter lemon zest, then sprinkle torn basil and chili flakes if using.
06 - Cut each flatbread into portions and serve immediately while warm.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • If you sneak tastes straight from the baking tray, you’re not alone—this flatbread is irresistibly snackable.
  • The contrast of creamy cheese, charred asparagus, and zesty lemon really does make every bite pop, even for veggie skeptics.
02 -
  • The first time I tried to pile too much burrata on, the flatbread turned soggy fast—less is more, and let it melt in spots.
  • Tossing asparagus with a little extra pepper after roasting amps up the flavor without overwhelming the cheese.
03 -
  • Let the burrata come to room temperature as you prep—the texture and flavor are so much better.
  • Roasting your asparagus until just charred brings out nutty notes you never knew were there.
