Carrageenan Free Roasted Tomatoes with Burrata

Blistered cherry tomatoes, golden roasted garlic, and pillowy fresh burrata — this dish is the kind of thing that looks like it came from a restaurant but comes together on a single sheet pan. The tomatoes collapse and caramelize in the oven, releasing their juices into a glossy, intensely flavored sauce that pools beautifully around the creamy cheese. Burrata can be a surprisingly tricky ingredient to navigate when you're avoiding carrageenan, since many processed dairy products rely on it as a stabilizer or thickener — so sourcing a clean, additive-free ball of fresh burrata is really the key move here. Once you have that, the rest of the ingredient list is refreshingly straightforward: olive oil, garlic, thyme, red pepper flakes, and fresh basil. A drizzle of balsamic glaze at the end adds a sweet, tangy finish that ties everything together without introducing any unwanted additives. Serve it straight from the platter while the tomatoes are still warm and the burrata is just beginning to melt at the edges — that contrast of hot and cool, rich and bright, is exactly the point.
