3. Arrange alternating layers of sweet potato and zucchini in the baking dish, sprinkling Parmesan cheese between the layers.
4. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 35 minutes.
5. Remove the foil and continue baking for 15 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the top is lightly golden.

8. Serve immediately while warm and creamy.
Notes
Slice the vegetables evenly for consistent cooking.
Toast the walnuts before adding them for extra flavor and crunch.
Add the burrata only after baking to keep it soft and creamy.
Fresh mozzarella can be substituted for burrata if needed.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and reheat gently before serving.
