Peel the carrots and celery root. Cut the carrots into thin slices (about 1/4 inch thick) and dice the celery root into small cubes (about 1/2 inch).
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Set aside.
In a large sauté pan, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted and begins to foam.
Add the carrots and celery root to the pan, stirring to coat them evenly with the butter and oil.
Sauté the vegetables for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften and take on a golden color.
Add the minced garlic, thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 5 minutes, ensuring the garlic becomes fragrant but does not brown.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and cover the pan with a lid. Cook for another 10-15 minutes, stirring every few minutes, until the carrots and celery root are tender and slightly caramelized.
Remove the lid and stir in the fresh parsley and lemon juice. Adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper, if needed.
Serve warm as a side dish to your favorite protein or enjoy on its own with a crusty piece of bread.
