Nourish: Roasted Grapes With Burrata
September 16, 2025
Grapes are at their sweetest right now, and while often thought of as a fruit to snack on fresh, they transform entirely when roasted. The heat softens their skins, concentrates their sugars, and draws out a caramelised depth that pairs beautifully with creamy burrata and crisp bread. A simple dish, yet one that feels abundant - perfect for the table when friends gather, whether as an aperitif for hosting or a starter to share.
Ingredients
- 500 grams of red grapes, stems removed
- 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar
- A few sprigs of fresh thyme
- Flaky sea salt, to taste
- 1 ball burrata
- Toasted bread, for serving
Steps
- Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the grapes on a tray and drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Season with flaky salt, add the thyme, and toss everything together until evenly coated.
- Roast for about 30 minutes, or until the grapes have softened, blistered, and released their juices.
- Once done, transfer them to a serving plate, nestle in the burrata, and spoon over the warm juices along with the roasted thyme leaves.
- Serve immediately with slices of toasted bread, letting the creamy burrata and grapes mingle together with the fragrant thyme.
