Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a 3-quart baking dish with softened unsalted butter.
  2. Thinly slice the sweet potatoes, parsnips, and beets into uniform pieces, approximately 1/8 inch thick.
  3. Toss the sliced sweet potatoes and parsnips with 4 tablespoons of heavy cream each and 2 tablespoons for the beets. Add grated Parmesan cheese and fresh thyme; season.
  4. Pour 1/4 cup of cream into the bottom of the baking dish, sprinkle minced garlic and Parmesan on top.
  5. Layer the sweet potato slices, followed by parsnips and beets until all are artistically arranged.
  6. Sprinkle the top layer with remaining salt, pepper, and additional Parmesan cheese.
  7. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
  8. Remove the foil, sprinkle shredded Gruyère cheese, and bake uncovered for an additional 18-20 minutes.
  9. Let the gratin rest for a few minutes before garnishing with fresh thyme and serving.

Notes

For the best results, use a mandoline for uniform slices and prevent beets from bleeding into other layers. Make-ahead by preparing the gratin a day in advance.
