Ingredients
3 cups butternut squash, peeled and cubed (1-inch pieces)
2 cups carrots, peeled and cubed (1-inch pieces)
2 cups cremini mushrooms, quartered
1½ cups Brussels sprouts, halved
1 large red onion, quartered
1 cup parsnips, peeled and cubed
5 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, minced
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
Sea salt and black pepper to taste
¼ cup all-purpose flour
2 cups vegetable broth (low-sodium)
1 cup coconut milk or heavy cream
2 tablespoons fresh sage, chopped
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 package puff pastry or pie crust (thawed if frozen)
2 tablespoons plant-based or dairy milk (for brushing)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, toss butternut squash, carrots, mushrooms, Brussels sprouts, red onion, and parsnips with 3 tablespoons olive oil, thyme, rosemary, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
3. Spread vegetables in a single layer across both baking sheets without overcrowding. Roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until tender with golden-brown caramelized edges.
4. While vegetables roast, heat remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 2 minutes until golden and fragrant.
5. Gradually add vegetable broth while whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Stir in coconut milk, sage, and Dijon mustard.
6. Simmer sauce for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened to a gravy-like consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
7. Combine roasted vegetables with the sauce in a large bowl, stirring gently to coat. Divide mixture among 6 individual ramekins or transfer to one 9×13-inch baking dish.
8. Roll out puff pastry and cut to fit over ramekins or baking dish. Place pastry over filling, pressing edges to seal. Cut 2-3 small vents in the top of each for steam to escape.
9. Brush pastry with plant-based or dairy milk for golden color. Reduce oven temperature to 375°F (190°C).
10. Bake for 30-35 minutes until crust is deep golden brown and filling bubbles through vents.
11. Remove from oven and let rest for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow filling to thicken.
Notes
For best results, cut all vegetables into uniform 1-inch pieces to ensure even roasting and cooking.
Don’t overcrowd baking sheets—vegetables need space to caramelize rather than steam.
Make sure sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon before assembling pot pies to prevent watery filling.
Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in 350°F oven for 20-25 minutes.
Freeze unbaked pot pies for up to 3 months. Bake from frozen at 375°F for 50-60 minutes, covering with foil if crust browns too quickly.
For gluten-free version, use gluten-free flour blend and gluten-free pastry.
For vegan version, use coconut milk and vegan puff pastry.
