Ingredients

• salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 1 medium eggplant
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed and finely chopped
• 2 medium beets
• 1 pinch flaked salt
• 4 tablespoons rapeseed oil, divided, or more as needed
• 1 medium fresh zucchini, thinly sliced
• 4 sprigs parsley, chopped, or more to taste, divided
• 1 (4 ounce) ball burrata, torn
• 8 slices sourdough bread, or more to taste

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add sliced zucchini and season with salt and pepper. Cook until zucchini begin to brown lightly. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Sprinkle with 1/2 of the parsley.

Step 3

Lay out burrata and pan-fried zucchini on a serving platter. Add eggplant and beet chips. Sprinkle with remaining parsley and another turn of black pepper.

Step 4

Brush sourdough slices with remaining oil. Heat a griddle pan over medium heat until it begins to smoke. Toast sourdough slices on the hot griddle for 1 minute. Flip and toast for 1 more minute. Serve toasted sourdough with the salad.

Step 5

Use a mandoline to thinly slice beets and eggplant into "chips." keeping them separate so eggplant does not turn red. Lightly drizzle with 1 tablespoon rapeseed oil and season with salt flakes. Lay out each vegetable piece on the prepared baking sheet without overlapping them.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 5 to 7 minutes. Turn each slice over and continue baking until crisp and golden, watching carefully so they don't burn, about 5 minutes.
