- 1 cup fresh basil leaves
- 1 cup fresh parsley leaves
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions
Step 1: Roast the Vegetables
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Toss the diced beets and sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Spread them out evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
- Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized, turning halfway through.
Step 2: Prepare the Pumpkin Seed Pesto
- In a food processor, add the toasted pumpkin seeds, basil, parsley, garlic, and Parmesan cheese.
- Pulse the ingredients until they are finely chopped.
- Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while blending until a thick, smooth pesto forms. Add more olive oil if needed to reach the desired consistency.
- Season the pesto with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 3: Prepare the Crispy Chickpeas (if making from scratch)
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (if not already on from the roasted vegetables).
- Pat dry a can of chickpeas (about 1 cup) after draining, and toss them in a little olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Spread them out on a baking sheet and roast for 20-30 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through, until golden and crispy.
Step 4: Assemble the Salad
- Place a bed of radicchio on a large serving plate.
- Arrange the roasted beets and sweet potatoes over the radicchio.
- Add dollops of burrata throughout the salad.
Step 5: Add Pesto and Garnishes
- Drizzle the pumpkin seed pesto generously over the roasted vegetables and burrata.
- Top with the crispy chickpeas for crunch and an extra sprinkle of salt if needed.
