Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large carrots
- 3 large parsnips
- 1 medium sweet potato
- 1 large russet potato
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel the carrots, parsnips, sweet potato, and russet potato. Cut them into roughly equal-sized chunks for even roasting.
Place the chopped vegetables on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and ground black pepper, and toss to coat evenly.
Roast the vegetables in the oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are soft and lightly caramelized.
Transfer the roasted vegetables to a food processor or a large mixing bowl if using a hand mixer.
Add butter and heavy cream to the vegetables. Blend until smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, add an additional splash of cream to reach your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt or pepper if required.
Transfer the root vegetable whip to a serving dish and garnish with fresh thyme, if desired.
Serve warm as a delicious side dish.
