Harvest Vegetable Mash with Roasted Garlic is a hearty and nutritious side dish made with a medley of root vegetables like sweet potatoes, Yukon Gold potatoes, carrots, and parsnips, blended with creamy plant-based milk and enriched with mellow, sweet roasted garlic. A comforting and colorful addition to any meal.

Ingredients

  • 2 Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 2 sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 2 carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 2 parsnips, peeled and chopped
  • 1 whole head of garlic
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup plant-based milk or regular milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter or vegan butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: fresh herbs (thyme, parsley, or chives) for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Slice the top off the garlic head to expose the cloves. Drizzle with olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast for 35–40 minutes until soft and golden.
  3. While the garlic roasts, place all chopped vegetables in a large pot. Cover with water, add salt, and bring to a boil.
  4. Simmer for 20–25 minutes until the vegetables are fork-tender. Drain and return to the pot.
  5. Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves from their skins into the pot with the vegetables.
  6. Add plant-based milk, butter, salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth or leave slightly chunky, based on preference.
  7. Adjust seasoning to taste and garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
  8. Serve warm as a side dish.

Notes

  • Use cauliflower for a lower-carb variation.
  • Add herbs like rosemary or sage for a more robust flavor.
  • For extra creaminess, stir in vegan sour cream or dairy-free yogurt.
  • Roasted garlic adds a rich, sweet depth—don’t skip it!
  • Can be made ahead and reheated with a splash of milk or water.
