Ingredients

• 1 pre-made pie crust (9-inch)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 medium carrots, diced
• 1 cup green beans, chopped
• 1 cup corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)
• 2 cups vegetable broth
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
• 1 tablespoon water (if using cornstarch)
• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

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 for about 3-4 minutes until translucent.
3. Add the minced garlic and diced carrots to the skillet, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes.
4. Stir in the chopped green beans and corn, cooking for another 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
5. Pour in the vegetable broth and add the fresh thyme. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If you prefer a thicker filling, mix the cornstarch with water in a small bowl and stir it into the skillet. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
6. Remove the skillet from heat and let the filling cool slightly while you prepare the crust.
7. Roll out the pre-made pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess crust hanging over the edges.
8. Pour the vegetable filling into the crust, spreading it evenly.
9. Cover the filling with another rolled-out pie crust, sealing the edges by crimping them together. Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
10. Brush the top crust with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
11. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
12. Let the pot pie cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Tips for the Best Results

• For a richer flavor, consider using homemade vegetable broth.
• Ensure your vegetables are cut into uniform sizes for even cooking.
• If you prefer a more rustic look, you can create a lattice top with the pie crust instead of a full cover.
• Let the pot pie cool slightly before cutting to allow the filling to set up.

Easy Variations

• Swap in your favorite vegetables such as mushrooms, spinach, or potatoes.
• Add protein by incorporating cooked lentils or chickpeas for a heartier dish.
• Experiment with different herbs like rosemary or parsley for added flavor.

What to Serve With It

• A simple green salad with a light vinaigrette
• Steamed broccoli or green beans for extra veggies
• Garlic bread or crusty rolls for dipping into the filling
