If you’re wondering what to serve with your burrata, you’ve come to the right place.

In this article, I list 33 of the most popular side dishes for burrata.

In a rush? Here’s the short answer.

The best side dishes to serve with burrata are sea salt crackers, roasted balsamic tomatoes, and crostinis. You can also serve it on an antipasto platter, with grilled peaches, or on top of some pest gnocchi. For more options, there’s roasted beets, arugula salad, or snap pea salad.

Ready? Let’s jump right in.

Crostini

Burrata is one of the world’s best ingredients. And it doesn’t need a lot to make it shine.

In fact, some plain old crostini is the perfect partner.

It brings a crunchy texture, showcases the cheese, and you can mix and match other toppings like prosciutto or tomatoes.

Why we love this recipe: it’s a smart way to use up stale bread lying around your kitchen.

Roasted cherry tomatoes

Roasting cherry tomatoes concentrates their sweetness and brings out a deep umami flavor.

Add some floral notes with thyme to that and you’ve got a wonderful side for burrata.

It’s super easy to make too! The oven does 99% of the work.

Why we love this recipe: it will bring a bright pop of color to your meal.

Jalapeno honey and fresh berries

Go sweet with honey and berries!

The tartness of the berries is offset by the creaminess of burrata cheese. And a drizzle of jalapeno honey rounds everything out with a touch of spice.

This sweet treat is best enjoyed with a tall glass of prosecco.

Why we love this recipe: its looks as good as it tastes.

Pesto gnocchi

Looking for something more hearty?

What about pesto gnocchi?

The key to this dish is making your own pesto. It’s so much better than jarred pesto.

Pro tip: but a basil plant instead of bagged basil. You get so much more basil for your money!

Why we love this recipe: it’s a comforting family-friendly dish.

Sea salt crackers

Another side that would go swimmingly well with burrata is sea salt crackers (see what I did there?).

You can use them for dipping or as base, it doesn’t really matter.

But what does matter is not scrimping on the seasoning. The salt and rosemary pair so well with the creamy burrata.

Why we love this recipe: they’re strangely addicting.

Antipasto platter

If you’re throwing a fancy get-together, what could go better with burrata than more cheese and lots of deli meat?

Platters are perfect for entertaining because there’s going to be something for everyone and they’re really easy to customize.

You just need to make sure you’ve got a mix of sweet, spicy, salty, and sour elements.

Why we love this recipe: it’s a no-fail party treat for everyone.

Arugula salad

This healthy salad couldn’t be easier to make. It takes 10 minutes, and you need 5 ingredients (including for the homemade dressing).

Grilled peaches

Next up are grilled peaches.

Roasted spaghetti squash

Trying to cut back down on carbs but want the satisfaction of eating pasta?

Look no further than spaghetti squash!

True to its name, once roasted and shredded, the flesh turns into noodle-like strands with a texture similar to angel hair pasta.

Prop some burrata on top of the faux noodles for a guilt-free treat.

Why we love this recipe: you can use the hollowed-out spaghetti squash to serve this meal.

Minty snap pea salad

You get a crunchy texture from the snap peas, and a sharp bite from the mustard dressing. Plus a big dose of freshness from the mint.

Swap the mozzarella for some burrata and you have a winning meal.

Why we love this recipe: there’s something so refreshing about mint and peas.
