Ingredients

  • 1 pre-made pie crust (9-inch)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 medium carrots, diced
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
  • 1 egg (for egg wash, optional)

How to Make Vegetable Pot Pie

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until fragrant and the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add the diced carrots and potatoes to the skillet. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until they start to soften.
  4. Stir in the frozen peas, vegetable broth, heavy cream, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer. If you prefer a thicker filling, mix the cornstarch with a little water and add it to the pot. Cook until the mixture thickens slightly, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Remove the skillet from heat and allow the filling to cool slightly while you prepare the crust.
  6. Fit the pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan. Pour the vegetable filling into the crust, spreading it evenly.
  7. Cover the pie with a second crust, crimping the edges to seal. Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape. If desired, brush the crust with beaten egg for a golden finish.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Tips for the Best Results

  • For added flavor, consider sautéing a few chopped mushrooms with the onions and garlic.
  • Letting the filling cool slightly before adding the crust helps prevent sogginess.
  • If you have leftover roasted vegetables, toss them in for extra depth of flavor.

Easy Variations

  • Swap in different vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini, or green beans based on your preference.
  • For a protein boost, add cooked lentils or chickpeas.
  • Use a puff pastry instead of a traditional crust for a lighter, flakier texture.

What to Serve With It

  • A simple green salad drizzled with vinaigrette.
  • Steamed broccoli or green beans for a fresh side.
  • Crusty bread for dipping into the savory filling.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftover pot pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through, about 20 minutes. You can also microwave individual portions for a quick meal.
