This is a great vegetable side dish recipe for Thanksgiving, and has a delicious, cheesy taste that appeals to everyone. It is made with root vegetables and works as a fantastic side dish to add to your Thanksgiving menu.

Root Vegetable Gratin Recipe

This recipe is sufficient for an 8” round pyrex casserole dish, and serves 4-6 people as a side, but you can double it, or more, to make extra.

Ingredients

Step Two

Beginning with sweet potato, start to layer the vegetables in your dish (I use a round pyrex casserole dish with a lid), alternating each of the vegetables layers with a sprinkling of blue cheese and some salt and pepper.
