Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 medium carrots, sliced
• 1 medium potato, diced
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 2 cups vegetable broth
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional for thickening)
• 1 store-bought pie crust (or homemade if you prefer)
• 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 minced garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Add the sliced carrots and diced potato to the skillet. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften.
4. Stir in the frozen peas, vegetable broth, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. If you want a thicker filling, mix the cornstarch with a splash of cold water and add it to the skillet. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes.
5. Remove the skillet from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
6. Transfer the vegetable filling into a pie dish, spreading it evenly.
7. Roll out your pie crust and place it over the filling. Trim the edges if necessary and crimp to seal. Cut a few slits in the top for steam to escape.
8. Brush the top with the beaten egg for a beautiful golden finish.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
10. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

Tips for the Best Results

• Allow the filling to cool slightly before adding the crust; this prevents a soggy bottom.
• For extra flavor, consider adding a splash of soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce to the filling.
• Experiment with different herbs like rosemary or parsley for a unique twist.

Easy Variations

• Swap in your favorite vegetables, such as bell peppers, green beans, or corn.
• Add cooked lentils or chickpeas for a protein boost.
• Use a puff pastry instead of a traditional pie crust for an even flakier texture.

What to Serve With It

• A simple green salad with vinaigrette.
• Garlic bread or crusty rolls for dipping.
• Steamed broccoli or green beans for added freshness.
