VEGGIE POT PIES WITH PUFF PASTRY CRUST
I use chickpea flour as the thickener for these pot pies to keep them extra healthy, but if you don’t have chickpea flour on hand you can use any other type of flour to thicken up the dish. If you prefer not to use flour, you can also use some cornstarch as a thickener. (Just add 2 tsp mixed in 4 tsp of cold water)
I use a round cutter to cut the puff pastry into a circular shape. You don’t have to do this, and can just cut squares of the puff pastry and place them over your dish.

DESCRIPTION
A healthy pot pie loaded with veggies and topped off with a puff pastry crust!
INGREDIENTS
2 tbsp olive oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 large carrot, chopped
1 celery stalk, chopped
3 tbsp chickpea flour (can sub regular flour)
3/4 cup almond milk
1 cup vegetable broth
1 potato, peeled and chopped into cubes
1 sweet potato, peeled and chopped into cubes
1/2 cup frozen peas
1 cup lentils, cooked
1 tsp dried thyme
2 tsp herbs de Provence
salt & pepper to taste
1 sheet of puff pastry (vegan if needed)
INSTRUCTIONS
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet on medium-high heat, then add the onions and let cook for 2 minutes until translucent.
Next, add the garlic, carrot and celery and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
Reduce heat to medium and add the chickpea flour and milk, mixing until everything is combined.
Add the vegetable broth, potatoes, peas, lentils and seasoning and mix everything together.
Cover and let simmer on medium-low for 10 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Fill little ramekins, or a big baking dish 3/4 of the way full with the filling, and then top with puff pastry.
Bake for 30-35 until golden brown.
NOTES
If you want to make your puff pastry nice and shiny, use an egg wash or aquafaba wash on top of it. Store any leftovers in the fridge for up to a week.
