I'm submitting a transaction to burn token to the blockfrost API and receives the following error

(ApplyTxError

How should a transaction that burns tokens look like?

I don’t know blockfrost but I know that a Cardano-transaction has a special field for minting. You should pass a Value to this field with a negative integer for the tokens you want to burn. Additionally you need to add the currency policy script to the transaction.

A transaction would have as inputs for instance a UTxO with 2 Ada and 55 xyz-tokens. The output would be a UTxO with just 2 Ada. The minting field would be a value with -55 xyz-tokens.

I hope this helps a bit.

Your problem is ValueNotConservedUTxO because your inputs and outputs values not conserved as (Input UTXO ≠ Fee + Amount sent + Change).
