If your kitchen is overflowing with asparagus, you are probably looking for more ways to use it than roasting it. That was me last summer! So, I devised a way to put one of my favorite appetizers (burrata and asparagus) on a pizza.

Rather than adding sauce, we’re using olive oil and sea salt to create the base of this pizza, then melting on loads of creamy burrata cheese goodness. It’s a slice of heaven.

• Pizza Crust: You can use a store-bought crust or make your own homemade pizza crust. You can also keep it low-carb by making a cauliflower crust or add protein with a chickpea pizza crust.
• Asparagus: Roasted asparagus may well be one of the greatest roasted vegetables ever. It combines beautifully with the best cheese.
• Burrata Cheese: You can use fresh mozzarella if you can’t find burrata.
• Feta Cheese: Adding a bit of zing with feta, though you could also use goat cheese (or add more burrata to compensate if you’re not a fan of feta).
• Arugula & Lemon: To keep this pizza light and fresh, we’ll finish it with a handful of fresh arugula and lemon zest!
