Ingredients

• 1 package (14 oz) refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 medium carrots, sliced
• 1 cup green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 cups vegetable broth
• 1 cup milk (or plant-based milk)
• 1 egg, beaten (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 the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Add the sliced carrots and green beans to the skillet. Sauté for another 5 minutes until they start to soften.
4. Stir in the frozen peas, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes.
5. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetable mixture, stirring to coat. Gradually pour in the vegetable broth and milk, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
6. Remove the skillet from heat and let the filling cool slightly.
7. Roll out one pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Pour the vegetable filling into the crust.
8. Cover with the second pie crust, crimping the edges to seal. Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape. Brush the crust with the beaten egg if using.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
10. Let it cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Tips for the Best Results

• For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of white wine to the vegetable mixture before adding the broth and milk.
• Make sure to let the filling cool slightly before adding it to the crust to prevent a soggy bottom.
• Use a mix of fresh and frozen vegetables for the best texture and flavor.
• If you prefer a thicker filling, let it simmer longer until it reaches your desired consistency.

Easy Variations

• Swap out the vegetables based on what you have on hand; bell peppers, mushrooms, and corn work well too.
• Add cooked lentils or chickpeas for an extra protein boost.
• Use a puff pastry for a different crust texture.
• Season with herbs like rosemary or parsley for additional flavor.

What to Serve With It

• A fresh garden salad with a light vinaigrette.
• Steamed broccoli or green beans for an extra veggie side.
• A warm, crusty baguette to soak up any gravy.
