Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 cup corn (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 cup diced potatoes
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 pre-made pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

How to Make Vegetable Pot Pie

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, cooking until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add the carrots and potatoes to the skillet. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften.
  4. Stir in the peas and corn, cooking for an additional 2 minutes.
  5. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetable mixture, stirring to coat. Gradually add the vegetable broth and milk, mixing until smooth.
  6. Add thyme, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 5-10 minutes until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  7. Roll out your pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Pour the vegetable filling into the crust.
  8. Cover with a second layer of pie crust, sealing the edges. Cut slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
  9. Brush the top of the crust with beaten egg for a golden finish.
  10. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  11. Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Make sure to let the filling cool slightly before adding it to the crust; this helps prevent a soggy bottom.
  • For a little extra flavor, consider adding a splash of soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce to the filling.
  • Use a combination of fresh and frozen vegetables for enhanced flavor and texture.

Easy Variations

  • Substitute your favorite vegetables like green beans, bell peppers, or zucchini.
  • Add protein such as cooked chickpeas or shredded rotisserie chicken for a heartier meal.
  • Experiment with different herbs, like rosemary or oregano, to customize the flavor.

What to Serve With It

  • A simple green salad dressed with vinaigrette.
  • Crusty bread or garlic bread for a filling side.
  • Steamed vegetables to complement the dish.

Storage and Reheating

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes, or until warmed through. You can also microwave individual portions, but the crust may lose its flakiness.
