Vegetarian Pot Pie with Puff Pastry
I love using store-bought puff pastry for pot pies!
Most brands are vegan and it is a super convenient way to top your pot pie, and they’re also delicious and buttery.
I also opted for frozen veggies in this recipe – you can use fresh but I always love a quick and easy alternative on busy nights.
Sometimes simple things are the best – baking vegetables, mushrooms and potatoes with delicious herbs is more than enough to pack this pie with flavor and comfort.
How to Make Vegan Pot Pie
Preparing the Vegetable Filling
To make this tasty vegan pot pie, start by letting your puff pastry thaw on the counter for 40 minutes (I used store bought frozen puff pastry – just be sure to check that the brand is vegan!).
In a large pan over medium heat, add the vegan butter until it melts and then toss in the chopped onion.
Cook for 2 minutes and then add the minced garlic for another minute.
Add the diced potato and cook for 3-5 minutes until soft when poked with a fork.
To speed this up, I like to add a splash of water and then cover the pan to let them steam a bit.
Add in the mixed veggies (I used a combination of carrots, peas and green beans, using frozen vegetables really speeds up this dish!) and the mushrooms.
Cook for 3-4 minutes and then sprinkle in the flour.
Stirring constantly, cook for 2 minutes.
Now pour in the vegetable broth, plant milk (I used almond), herbs, salt, pepper and nutritional yeast if using.
Give it a good mix and let it come to a light boil.
Then reduce heat to low and let it cook for 5-8 minutes until thickened, then remove from heat.
Assembling and Topping with Puff Pastry
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F and spray a 13×9 pan with non-stick spray.
Pour in the pot pie filling and evenly spread out.
Now, take your thawed puff pastry (be sure to just let it thaw for 40 minutes until it’s workable, you don’t want it to get too warm), and roll it out into a 14 by 10 inch rectangle.
Roll it onto the rolling pin and then evenly unroll it over the pan.
Tuck the edges under to evenly top the filling, and then use a fork to seal all around the edges.
Cut a few slits in the middle and then brush on some plant milk to help it brown.
Baking with Vegan Pot Pie
Bake for 27-33 minutes, or until nicely golden brown all over with a bubbly filling.
If the edges start to brown faster than the center, you can carefully take it out and cover the edges with aluminum foil before placing back inside to finish baking.
Just be very careful not to burn yourself on the hot pan!
Let the pie cool for a few minutes and then enjoy! The filling will thicken more as it cools as well.
