Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Peel and thinly slice your root vegetables, aiming for slices about 1/8-inch thick.
In a bowl, combine heavy cream (or your chosen substitute), minced garlic, salt, pepper, and chopped herbs. Whisk until well mixed.
Grease a baking dish with butter or olive oil. Begin layering the sliced root vegetables in the dish, alternating between the different types. Pour a little of the cream mixture over each layer.
After a layer of vegetables, sprinkle a generous amount of cheese. Continue layering until all the vegetables and cream mixture are used, finishing with a layer of cheese on top.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the vegetables are tender.
Once baked, let the gratin cool for about 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Feel free to mix and match the root vegetables according to your preference.
This dish can be made vegetarian or vegan by adjusting the cheese and cream substitutes.
