Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1½ cups mushrooms, sliced
- 1 large carrot, peeled and diced
- 1½ cups frozen peas
- 1½ teaspoons poultry seasoning
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1½ cups vegetable broth
- ¼ cup unsweetened plant-based milk
- 1 vegan pie crust (top and bottom)
- Optional: diced potatoes, chopped green beans, or cooked lentils
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
- Stir in garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add mushrooms and carrots. Sauté for 6-7 minutes until softened.
- Add peas, poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
- Sprinkle flour over the mixture and stir for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.
- Gradually whisk in vegetable broth and plant-based milk until a creamy sauce forms. Simmer for 4-5 minutes until thickened.
- Line a 9-inch pie dish with one crust. Spoon the filling evenly.
- Top with the second crust, pressing edges to seal. Cut small slits in the top crust.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
- Let the pot pie rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Cool filling slightly before adding to crust to prevent sogginess.
- Use unsweetened plant milk for the best savory flavor.
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free flour and a gluten-free crust.
- Baked or unbaked pie can be frozen for up to 2 months.
- Brush the top crust with plant milk for a golden finish.
