Using a spiralizer speeds up the prep and creates delicate ribbons that roast evenly. The mix of sweet potatoes, parsnips, carrots and butternut squash brings both sweetness and earthy depth; the white sauce (a simple béchamel-style mix) binds the vegetables and the Gruyère browns to create a golden, cheesy crust. This gratin is naturally festive, gluten-free when you choose a gluten-free flour, and pairs beautifully with roasted poultry, mashed potatoes, or a simple green salad.
