Step-by-Step Instructions for Root Vegetable Gratin
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or olive oil.
  2. Wash the golden beets and Japanese sweet potatoes thoroughly, then slice them into thin, even rounds—about 1/8 inch thick.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream with fresh thyme, salt, and pepper. Whisk until blended.
  4. Layer half of the sliced golden beets in the baking dish. Pour half of the cream mixture over this first layer.
  5. Add half of the sliced Japanese sweet potatoes and top with remaining cream mixture.
  6. Finish by layering the rest of the golden beets and sweet potatoes. Pour any remaining cream mixture over the top.
  7. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes.
  8. Remove foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the top is golden and slightly crisp.
  9. Allow to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving warm.
