Peel the carrots and swede, then chop them into roughly equal-sized chunks for even cooking.
In a large pot, add the carrot and swede pieces. Cover them with cold water and add a pinch of salt.
Bring the pot to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for about 20-25 minutes, until the vegetables are fork-tender.
While the vegetables are cooking, peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Drain the cooked carrots and swede completely and return them to the pot or a large mixing bowl.
Add the coconut cream, olive oil, minced garlic, fresh thyme, and ground nutmeg to the vegetables.
Using a potato masher or an immersion blender, mash the vegetables until smooth and creamy. Adjust the consistency by adding more coconut cream if needed.
Season the mash with salt and black pepper to taste, and stir well to combine all the flavors.
Gently reheat the mash over low heat if necessary before serving warm.
Serve the Whole30 Carrot and Swede Mash as a delicious and nutritious side dish.
