This Baked Root Vegetable Gratin recipe is made with sweet potato, carrot, parsnip, beetroot and potato… Enough to fill up on color in the middle of winter!
I loved everything about this recipe: preparing it and eating it of course, with all the good flavors, but above all photographing it! I love these young people of colors and shapes!
It’s a really easy recipe to prepare with really simple ingredients and it really has a great effect. Something to feast your eyes throughout the fall-winter season with these pretty root vegetables.
To cut vegetables, I recommend a mandolin but you can also use a good knife. You will simply have to make very thin slices in order to obtain a very tender gratin.

This baked vegetable gratin will be perfect as a vegetarian dish accompanied by a nice green salad (I have a weakness for lamb’s lettuce) and a little herb faitelle, or served with meat dishes for example (I will give you some ideas a little further down the page).
It will also be perfect as an accompaniment to a Christmas dish, and what’s more, it can be prepared in advance, which is not insignificant for the logistics of festive meals… 😉
What ingredients will you need to make this baked root vegetable gratin recipe?
- parsnip
- sweet potatoes
- red beets
- carrots
- potato
- pressed garlic cloves
- vegetable broth
- semi-salted butter
- grated cheese such as parmesan or pecorino or that of your choice
- salt and pepper

When you cut your vegetables, you can mix your slices of root vegetables but I really wanted to have a nice visual to serve my gratin. So I was very careful to maintain the shape of each vegetable as I cut them.
I also alternated the vegetables of different colors for the pleasure of the eyes.
You will still have to be careful to keep the vegetable slices vertical, this is important for cooking.
