Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 carrots, peeled and diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/2 tsp dried sage
  • 1/4 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend)
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup cooked lentils
  • 1 cup roasted sweet potatoes, cubed
  • 1 cup cooked green beans
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 sheet vegan puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 tbsp plant-based milk, for brushing

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, carrots, and celery and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Add mushrooms, thyme, sage, and rosemary and cook for another 5 minutes, until mushrooms are tender.
  4. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in vegetable broth until smooth.
  5. Bring to a simmer and add lentils, sweet potatoes, green beans, and peas. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly. Stir in parsley.
  7. Divide the vegetable mixture among individual oven-safe bowls or ramekins.
  8. Cut the puff pastry into circles slightly larger than the diameter of the bowls. Place a pastry circle over each bowl, gently pressing the edges to seal.
  9. Brush the pastry with plant-based milk.
  10. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed up.
  11. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

For an extra festive touch, cut out leaf shapes from the puff pastry scraps and arrange them on top of the pot pies before baking.
