Roasted Fiddleheads and Burrata Recipe

Roasted Fiddleheads and Burrata
Serves 4 as an appetizer
Fiddleheads, the coiled tops of edible ferns, are only in season for a very short window in the spring. This simple preparation highlights their fresh, unique flavor.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups fiddleheads
- 1 bunch radishes
- 1 lemon, medium
- 2 Tbsp Metropolitan Market Extra Virgin Olive Oil, divided
- Kosher salt
- Pepper
- 1 ball burrata
- Crackers or sliced baguette
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 450°F.
- Remove dry, brown bits from centers of fiddleheads. Rinse and drain. Trim ends.
- Cook fiddleheads in a large pot of boiling, salted water for 12 minutes. While fiddleheads cook, prepare a bowl of ice water. Drain fiddleheads and transfer to ice water to cool. Drain well. Pat dry on a clean kitchen towel.
- Trim tops and roots of radishes. Cut into quarters (eighths, if very large). Slice lemon into 1/8-inch-thick rounds.
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Scatter fiddleheads, radishes, and lemon slices on parchment. Drizzle with one tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Roast 12 to 15 minutes, until vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
- Nestle burrata in veggies on pan. Cut open and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
- Serve warm with crackers or baguette slices.
