Nitrous oxide is, in a manner of speaking, already burnt. Generally the term "burn" means to oxidize (combine with oxygen) by combustion. Under normal conditions, the gas isn't flammable. Nor is pure nitrogen.

Nitrogen doesn't oxidize easily in any case, which is why our atmosphere is almost 80% free nitrogen.
