Ingredients

• 2 cups (peeled and diced) carrots
• 1.5 cups (peeled and diced) parsnips
• 1.5 cups (peeled and diced) sweet potatoes
• 1 cup (peeled and diced) celery root (celeriac)
• 1 medium (diced) yellow onion
• 3 minced garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2.5 cups vegetable broth
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon (dried) thyme
• 1 teaspoon (dried) sage
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
• 6 tablespoons (cold, cubed) unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup buttermilk
• 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish) fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 4-5 minutes until softened.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the diced carrots, parsnips, sweet potatoes, and celery root to the skillet. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start softening.

Step 5

Add the unsalted butter to the skillet and melt it. Sprinkle the 3 tablespoons of flour over the vegetables and stir well to coat.

Step 6

Gradually pour in the vegetable broth, stirring constantly to create a smooth sauce. Let it simmer until slightly thickened, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 7

Stir in the heavy cream, thyme, sage, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 8

Transfer the vegetable mixture to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 9

To make the biscuit topping, whisk together 1.5 cups of flour, baking powder, and kosher salt in a mixing bowl.

Step 10

Cut in the cold cubed butter using a pastry cutter or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 11

Gently stir in the buttermilk until the dough just comes together (do not overwork it).

Step 12

Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough over the vegetable filling, leaving some space for the cobbler to vent.

Step 13

Bake the cobbler in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden and cooked through.

Step 14

Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
