  3. Allow roasted beets to cool, then unwrap and peel the skins off gently. Slice into wedges.
  4. Blend fresh basil, olive oil, orange juice, and kosher salt in a jar until smooth to make basil oil.
  5. On a platter, arrange sliced oranges, place burrata in the center, and surround with beet wedges.

  7. Serve immediately to enjoy fresh flavors and vibrant presentation.
