- Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes. Uncover the parsnips and cook for another 30 minutes, or until golden brown.
Notes
- Grip parsnips with a kitchen towel when using a mandoline to prevent cutting your fingers.
- Cook onions on low heat for 15 minutes for a perfect caramelized onion.
- The number of onions, cranberries, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper should be split between all 3 layers of the gratin.
- If the parsnips are cut too thick the gratin will take longer to cook.
