  • Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 8

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (softened)
  • 12 long sweet potatoes (each about 2 inches thick, peeled)
  • 3 to 4 large parsnips (trimmed and peeled)
  • 3 to 5 small beets (peeled)
  • 1 1/4 cup heavy cream (divided)
  • 4 ounces grated Parmesan cheese (divided)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme (minced, divided; plus a little extra for garnish)
  • 1 clove garlic (minced)
  • 1 ounce shredded Gruyere cheese
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a 3-quart baking dish with butter.
  2. Slice sweet potatoes, parsnips, and beets into thin rounds using a mandoline for even cooking.
  3. In separate bowls, coat the sweet potatoes and parsnips with cream, Parmesan, thyme, salt, and pepper. Repeat for the beets using less cream.
  4. Layer the veggies in the greased baking dish: start with sweet potatoes, then parsnips, followed by beets until the dish is filled.
  5. Add remaining cream and garlic at the bottom of the dish before placing it into the oven covered with foil for 30 minutes.
  6. Remove foil, add shredded Gruyere on top, and bake uncovered for an additional 18-20 minutes until bubbling and golden brown.
