Root veggies are great roasted, there's no doubt about that. But sometimes I get tired of the same old preparation of fall vegetables. Gratin isn't exactly innovative but at the same time, it's a break from roasting. You can really adjust this recipe however you like adding any other root veggies that you see fit. I would, however, avoid your sweeter varieties like sweet potatoes and yams as they could make the dish a tad too sweet and less savory. Sweeter root veggies often times overpower recipes, which is great in most cases (as they are SO delicious), but not in this case.

Root veggies are about to be the star of the season so you'll be seeing a lot of them from me. They are inexpensive, nutrient dense, and a great way to feed your family with minimal impact on the planet.

You can make this ahead of time at the beginning of the week and then bake it the day of if you like. If you want this to be the main course, add some pine nuts for protein to the dish as I did.
