1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In small bowl toss together cheese and chopped herbs; set aside. Coat a 3 qt. rectangular baking dish with olive oil. Layer sliced vegetables in the following order, sprinkling salt, pepper, and 3 to 4 tablespoons the cheese mixture between each layer: half the turnip slices, half the potato slices, half the leek slices, half the parsnip slices, and half the sweet potato slices. Repeat, ending with sweet potato slices. Reserve remaining cheese mixture.
2. Cover with foil. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes. Remove foil. Sprinkle remaining cheese mixture over top. Increase oven temperature to 400 degrees F. Continue baking, uncovered, 15 minutes or until cheese is melted and starting to brown.
3. Remove from oven. Sprinkle additional fresh herbs. Let stand 10 minutes. Makes 8 to 10 servings.

11/24/2009 02:53:43 PM Report AbuseYes, it takes a while to slice the veggies, but it is really delicious and worth every minute. We loved it. (We subbed parmesan cheese for the last sprinkle of cheese while it was baking, and used dried thyme and sage for the herbs.)
11/24/2009 12:20:58 PM Report AbuseI am so glad I found this. I wanted to make something different for Thanksgiving and this sounds wonderful. I will just slice the veggies with my food processer.
11/23/2009 05:51:12 PM Report Abuseit's good but it's tedious & takes every bit of 35 minutes to prepare...bring out a slicer if you have it & it'll be better. We did it by hand and were wore out!
