- Arrange one-quarter of the root vegetable mixture in prepared baking dish. Layer one-quarter of the cheese over top. Repeat layers three more times.
- Whisk together flour with 1/4 cup (60 mL) broth until smooth; whisk in remaining broth and milk. Pour over casserole; press to distribute liquid evenly. Drizzle with remaining oil.
- Cover with foil; bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Remove foil; bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until most of the liquid is absorbed. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with parsley and chives.

- Substitute 5% light cream for milk if desired.
