Root-Vegetable Gratin
This meatless alternative won over my carnivorous self. I don't own a mandoline, so I used my trusty Global Chef's knife to do all the cutting (while wearing a heavy glove to mind my fingers). I sprinkled fresh rosemary, sage and Adobo in between all the layers and used 1 c. seasoned panko on top. Be really careful when you do the broiling. I did mine 10 inches from the top and after just one minute it was close to burning. Only 4 Weight Watchers points per serving. Very tasty and it reheats well!

I found this unbelievably delicious and easy. The vegetables very nearly melt in your mouth, which contrasts beautifully with the bread crumbs. I agree that you need to season generously, but the sweetness of the vegetables need no other adornments such as cheese or herbs.

This recipe is a great way to introduce yourself to the rutabaga if you've never had them before. It was delicious, but it would have been even more delicious if it had been less healthy--bring on the cheese! Still, I expect that I will make it again as a side. You can use pretty much any winter squash or root vegetable that you have on hand.
