Make the BEST vegan pot pie in under 1 hour loaded with tender mixed veggies and tofu or vegan chick’n in a rich, savory sauce encased in a (homemade or pre-made) flaky pastry crust. It’s cozy, comforting, versatile, and delicious!
Over medium heat, add the oil to a large pot. Add the onion and cook for 1 minute, then add the garlic. Mix well and cook for 1 minute. Add the mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes.
Add the frozen veggies, marjoram, oregano, basil,, tofu, and salt and pepper. Mix well and cook for 3 minutes.
Add the flour and mix well. Then slowly whisk in the vegetable broth and plant-based milk.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Stretch the sheet of puff pastry to fit the bottom and sides of an 8×8 baking dish. Add the veggie filling and top with the second puff pastry sheet. Pinch the sides of the dough to create a seal. Make 4 cuts on top of the dough to allow the steam to come out.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the crust turns golden. Remove from the oven and let it sit for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
For individual pot pies: Divide the pastry and filling between smaller oven-safe dishes/ramekins. Bake for around 15 minutes.
Experiment with fillings: There are plenty of ways to adapt the filling to your liking (and what you have in your kitchen). It’s a highly versatile, forgiving vegetable pot pie recipe.
Add some vents: This is important to allow the steam to escape while the vegan pot pie bakes to prevent the crust from getting soggy.
