🧾 Ingredients (Serves 4–6)
Filling
- 2 cups mushrooms (sliced)
- 1 cup carrots (diced)
- 1 cup peas
- 1 onion (chopped)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tbsp flour (all-purpose or gluten-free)
- 1½ cups vegetable broth
- ½ cup coconut milk or plant-based cream
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp thyme
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
Crust
- 1 sheet vegan puff pastry or 1 batch homemade vegan pie crust
👩🍳 Instructions
First, preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
Next, heat olive oil in a pan and sauté onions and garlic until translucent. Add carrots and mushrooms and cook for 5–7 minutes.
Then, sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir well. Gradually add vegetable broth and plant-based cream while stirring until thickened. Season with thyme, salt, and pepper.
Pour the filling into a baking dish. Cover with puff pastry or rolled-out pie crust, sealing the edges. Cut small slits on top for steam to escape.
Finally, bake for 25–30 minutes until the crust is golden and flaky. Serve warm.
⭐ Tips for Best Results
Firstly, use fresh mushrooms for the best flavor.
Additionally, do not overcook the filling before baking to maintain texture.
Moreover, brush the crust with plant-based milk for a golden, glossy finish.
If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds or herbs on top for extra flavor.

💚 Health Benefits
Mushrooms are rich in antioxidants, therefore supporting immune health.
Moreover, the filling contains fiber and vitamins from mixed vegetables.
Because it is plant-based and dairy-free, it is lighter than traditional pot pies.
As a result, it is a nutritious, filling, and comforting meal option.
🧒 Kid-Friendly Version
For kids, chop vegetables finely for easier eating.
Additionally, skip strong herbs or spicy ingredients.
Use fun-shaped crusts or small ramekins for mini pot pies.
Finally, serve with mild vegan gravy or a side of plant-based mashed potatoes.
