Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Add the vegetables, and cook uncovered for 3 minutes. Drain in a colander, then immediately immerse in ice water for several minutes until cold to stop the cooking process. Once the vegetables are cold, drain well, and set aside.
- Cook garlic and butter in a large skillet over medium heat until garlic starts sizzling, about 3 minutes.
- Stir in chicken broth, heavy cream, thyme, nutmeg, and cayenne pepper; cook until mixture begins to simmer, about 5 minutes.
- Coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil and spread vegetables evenly over the oil.
- Pour broth and cream mixture over vegetables and top with half of the grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.
- Cover baking dish loosely with aluminum foil, place on a baking sheet, and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.
- Remove baking dish from the oven and top with remaining Parmigiano-Reggiano. Bake uncovered until vegetables are browned, bubbling, and tender, about an additional 30 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for 20 minutes.

Good way to sneak in the root veggies. Followed the recipe with a little extra added cheese, but felt it lacked a little kick, despite the cayenne. Thinking I might add some jalapeno next time.

After 90 minutes in the oven (first at 375, later at 425; first covered, then uncovered, then covered) I scooped out lots of liquid, topped off the now almost dry vegetables with more parmesan p...

This is really good!! I followed the recipe except I didn't have any parmigiano-reggiano cheese so I used 3/4 cup marble cheese. I am not a big fan of thyme so I only put in a pinch. I will defi...

I read the critiques that said it was too bland and swimming in liquid. So I upped all the flavorings to at least double, and put massive amounts of salt in the blanching water. That helps, it h...

I’ve been looking for a way to incorporate new foods into my diet so this was an exciting recipe to try. It did not disappoint. It was tasty and appealing. My wife, kids, and I recommend it.
