Peel the carrots and swede. Cut them into similar-sized chunks to ensure even cooking.
Place the carrots and swede in a large pot, and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until both the carrots and swede are tender when pierced with a fork.
Drain the cooked vegetables well, allowing them to sit in the colander for a few minutes to remove excess moisture.
Return the drained carrots and swede to the pot or place in a large mixing bowl.
Add the unsalted butter to the vegetables and mash using a potato masher or a fork until smooth and well combined.
Season the mash with ground black pepper and stir in the freshly chopped parsley and thyme leaves.
Taste and adjust pepper seasoning if desired. Serve warm as a side dish to your favorite main course.
