There are a hundred paths through the world that are easier than loving. But, who wants easier? Mary Oliver

This Vegetable Pot Pie was our dinner last night and it was so homey and delicious- I just had to share!  To save time I used store-bought puff pastry dough which makes this recipe very easy. The roasted butternut squash gives this dish such lovely sweetness, and together with the lentils and kale, it makes for a delicious symphony of flavors and textures.

I recommend cooking the lentils ahead and thawing the puff pastry dough overnight in the fridge.

What you will need:

  •  butternut squash -or sub other winter squash -you’ll need about 6 cups ( 2 lbs) cubed
  • 1 large parsnip
  • 1 large carrot
  •  olive oil
  • an onion (or sub leeks or  2-3 shallots)
  • garlic cloves
  •  fresh sage (or sub thyme or rosemary)
  • celery  ( or sub diced fennel bulb)
  •  flour or use GF flour blend
  • veggie broth
  • almond milk ( or soy, oat milk, or regular milk)
  • salt and pepper and a pinch of nutmeg
  • lacinato kale
  • cooked lentils, or sub frozen peas.
  • a pinch nutmeg
  • 1 sheet thawed puff pastry ( or sub pie dough, but really, the puff pastry is YUMMY!)

Variations of Vegetable Pot Pie

  • Add sauteed or roasted mushrooms instead of carrots or parsnip

  • Top it with a Pie Crust instead of puff pastry- although the puff pastry here is delicious!

How to make Veggie Pot Pie

Step one

Peel and cut the butternut squash, carrots and parsnips. Cut the carrots and parsnips smaller and the butternut squash bigger- for more even cooking.

Toss with olive oil salt and pepper and roast in a 400 F oven until fork-tender, about 25 mintues. You could do this ahead if you like…

Step two

Make the flavorful stew base. Saute onion, celery, garlic and sage. You could sub-fennel for the celery here to create an even more nuanced flavor.

Step four

Prep the puff pastry. Unroll the thawed pastry dough, place it on a floured surface and sprinkle with flour and roll it out a little with a rolling pin, mostly just to get the creases out.

TIP: If you forgot to thaw your puff pastry ahead, you can thaw in a microwave, 15 seconds at a time, until it unrolls easily. If you overshoot, and it’s too soft, put it in the fridge for a few minutes to firm it up. You want it thawed, but still cold.

Place the puff pastry dough over the butternut lentil filling, then fold up the corners, and add a few slits for venting.

Brush with olive oil or an egg wash.

Step five

Bake it! Place it in a 400F oven for 20 minutes, then lower the heat to 350 for 15 more minutes.

When it comes out it will be beautifully golden and will fill up your kitchen with a heavenly aroma.

Description

Veggie Pot Pie with roasted butternut squash, lentils, and kale topped with a golden puff pasty crust – a cozy vegan dinner recipe the whole family will enjoy. Allow puff pastry dough to thaw overnight in the fridge. 

  • 2lbs butternut squash, peeled, 1-inch cubes (or sub other winter squash, about 6 cups cubed)
  • 1 large parsnip, 1/2 inch diced
  • 1 large carrot, 1/2 inch diced
  • 1– 2  tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper
  • 3 tablespoon olive oil (or butter)
  • one onion, diced (or sub leeks or  2–3 shallots)
  • 4–6 garlic cloves, rough chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh sage, chopped ( or sub thyme or rosemary)
  • 1 cup celery, chopped ( or sub diced fennel bulb)
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • 1 1/2 cups warm veggie broth
  • 1 cup almond milk ( or soy, oat milk, or regular milk)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • big handful lacinato kale (chopped, big stems removed)
  • 1 cup cooked lentils, or sub frozen peas.
  • a pinch nutmeg
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed.
  • olive oil for brushing (or use egg wash- not vegan)

Instructions

  1. Thaw puff pastry dough overnight in the fridge. (Or see notes)
  2. Cook lentils – 1/2 cup dry lentils- simmer in salted boiling water ( like pasta) until tender. You could do this ahead.
  3. Pre-heat oven  to 400F
  4. Prep the veggies: Peel and dice the butternut into 1-inch cubes– you’ll need about 6 cups. Peel and dice the carrots and parsnips into 1/2 inch cubes. (You want the butternut bigger and carrots/parsnips smaller so they roast at a more even rate.) Toss with olive oil, 5-finger pinch of salt and pepper  and place on a parchment-lined sheet pan, roast until tender- 25-35 minutes.
  5. Make the Stew Base: In a 10-12 inch, ovenproof skillet (or see notes), heat oil over medium heat. saute the onion, 3-4 minutes, add garlic, celery and sage, and continue cooking until the onions are golden. Sprinkle with the flour, stir it in and toast it, 1-2 mintues. Add the warm veggie broth, a little at a time whisking it in, over low heat. Add the almond milk, whisk it in, bring to a simmer, just until it thickens. Turn heat off. Season with salt and pepper and a pinch of nutmeg.
  6. Combine: Gently fold in the roasted veggies, kale and lentils. If it feels dry, add a splash or two of almond milk 0r veggie broth to loosen. It should be like a very thick stew. Try not to over mix.
  7. On a floured surface, unroll the puff pastry dough, and sprinkle it with a little flour. Roll out any creases and roll it out just big enough to cover your pan.
  8. Place the puff pastry over the top of the pan, folding up the corners. Cut a few slits for venting. Brush with olive oil, or if not vegan, use an egg wash.
  9. Bake at 400F for 20 minutes, then lower heat to 350F, and bake 10 more minutes.

Notes

TIP: If you forgot to thaw your puff pastry ahead, you can thaw in a microwave, 15 seconds at a time ( turning it over) until softened and unrolls easily. If you overshoot, and it’s too soft, put it in the fridge for a few minutes to firm it up. You want it thawed, but still cold.
