Ingredients
1 9-inch vegan pie crust
1 tablespoon olive oil or vegan butter
1 small yellow onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 carrots, diced
2 celery stalks, diced
1/2 cup frozen peas
1 cup cooked potatoes, diced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup unsweetened plant milk
3/4 cup vegetable broth
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/4 teaspoon dried sage
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 1/2 cups cubed bread or leftover stuffing
1 tablespoon olive oil (for drizzling)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and roll out the pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan. Prick the base with a fork and pre-bake for 10 minutes.
2. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté onion, garlic, carrots, and celery until softened, about 8–10 minutes.
3. Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir. Slowly pour in the plant milk and vegetable broth while whisking until smooth.
4. Stir in the cooked potatoes and peas. Simmer for 5–7 minutes, until the mixture thickens.
5. Season with thyme, rosemary, sage, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust as needed.
6. Pour the creamy filling into the pre-baked crust and smooth it evenly.
7. Top with cubed bread or stuffing. Drizzle with olive oil and a pinch of herbs or salt if using plain bread.
8. Bake for 30–35 minutes, until the topping is golden and the filling is bubbling.
9. Let the pot pie cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
10. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm.
Notes
Be sure to use unsweetened plant milk to avoid altering the flavor of the filling.
Toast your bread cubes beforehand if not using leftover stuffing to get a crispier topping.
Letting the pie rest before serving helps keep each slice neat and intact.
