Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized Carrots
- 3 medium-sized Parsnips
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Gruyère cheese
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Thinly slice the carrots and parsnips using a mandoline or sharp knife.
Mince the garlic cloves and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, cooking for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the sliced carrots and parsnips to the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until they begin to soften.
Stir in the heavy cream, unsweetened almond milk, fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper. Let simmer for another 5 minutes.
Remove from heat and gently mix in half of the Gruyère cheese.
Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Sprinkle the remaining Gruyère cheese and all of the Parmesan over the top.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Let the gratin cool for about 10 minutes before serving, allowing the sauce to set slightly.
