Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 medium carrots, diced
• 1 medium potato, diced
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 2 cups vegetable broth
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 pre-made pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
• 1 egg (for egg wash, optional)

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 sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Add the diced carrots and potato to the skillet, cooking for another 5-6 minutes until they start to soften.
4. Stir in the frozen peas and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
5. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and mix well, allowing it to coat the veggies for about 1 minute.
6. Gradually pour in the vegetable broth and milk, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it thicken, about 5-7 minutes.
7. Add the thyme, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and let the filling cool slightly.
8. Roll out the pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Pour the creamy vegetable filling into the crust.
9. Cover the filling with another layer of pie crust, sealing the edges. Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape. If desired, brush the top with beaten egg for a golden finish.
10. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
11. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure to cut your vegetables into similar sizes for even cooking.
• If you prefer a flakier crust, refrigerate the pie crust for a few minutes before baking.
• Experiment with fresh herbs like rosemary or parsley for added flavor.

Easy Variations

• Swap out the vegetables for seasonal produce like bell peppers, mushrooms, or zucchini.
• Add cooked lentils or chickpeas for extra protein.
• Use a puff pastry instead of a traditional pie crust for a lighter, airier topping.

What to Serve With It

• A simple green salad with vinaigrette.
• Steamed broccoli or green beans for extra veggies.
• A warm crusty bread to soak up the creamy filling.
