Spiralized Winter Vegetable Gratin
-
3 large parsnips (peeled and cut into noodles with a spiralizer)
-
2 medium sweet potatoes (peeled and cut into noodles with a spiralizer)
-
1 small butternut squash (peeled and cut into noodles with a spiralizer)
-
2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
-
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
-
2 Tbsp unsalted butter
-
1 sweet onion (diced)
-
2 garlic cloves (minced)
-
¼ cup all-purpose flour
-
1 cup whole milk
-
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
-
1 + ¼ cup grated Gruyere cheese
-
2 tsp chopped fresh thyme
-
2 tsp chopped fresh rosemary
-
1 Tbsp chopped parsley
-
Preheat the oven to 400°F and grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish with nonstick spray.
-
Add the parsnip noodles, sweet potato noodles, butternut squash noodles, and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and toss to combine. Roast until the vegetables start to become tender — 30-35 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until it’s translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté it until it’s fragrant — about 1 minute.
-
Stir the flour into the saucepan until combined. Add the whole milk and bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring constantly. Stir in the Parmesan and ¾ cup of the Gruyere. Season with salt and pepper.
-
Remove the casserole dish from the oven and pour the sauce over the vegetables. Toss them gently to combine.
-
Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of Gruyere over the surface of the gratin and return it to the oven until the vegetables are very tender and the cheese has melted and is golden brown — 12-15 minutes.
-
Garnish with thyme, rosemary, and parsley.
