Ingredients

• 4 large carrots
• 4 large parsnips
• 1 can coconut milk
• 0.25 cup nutritional yeast
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Peel and thinly slice the carrots and parsnips into rounds, about 1/8 inch thick. A mandoline slicer works best for this, but a sharp knife will also do.

Step 3

In a small saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant. Add the coconut milk, stirring to combine.

Step 4

Stir in the nutritional yeast, salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme into the coconut milk mixture. Allow it to simmer for about 5 minutes, then remove from heat.

Step 5

Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with a little olive oil. Begin layering the carrot and parsnip slices in the dish, slightly overlapping them.

Step 6

Pour a third of the coconut milk mixture over the first layer of vegetables. Repeat the layering process two more times, finishing with the coconut milk mixture on top.

Step 7

Cover the baking dish with foil and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for 30 minutes covered, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the vegetables are tender.

Step 8

Allow the gratin to cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with a little more fresh thyme if desired, and enjoy!
