Vegetable Pot Pie Recipe

Step 4: Bake the Vegetable Pot Pie

1️⃣ Brush the crust:

If desired, brush the top of the pie with a little milk or butter for a golden, glossy finish.

2️⃣ Bake:

Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden and flaky.
If the crust is getting too dark before the filling is fully bubbly, cover the edges with aluminum foil and continue baking.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

1️⃣ Let it cool:

Once the vegetable pot pie is out of the oven, let it sit for about 10 minutes to cool slightly. This helps the filling to set and makes it easier to slice.

2️⃣ Garnish:

Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and flavor.

3️⃣ Slice and serve:

Cut the pie into generous slices, serve with a side of salad or a light soup, and enjoy the comforting goodness!

🍽️ Tips for the Best Vegetable Pot Pie

✔ Mix and match vegetables: You can easily swap in your favorite vegetables—like zucchini, mushrooms, or green beans. Just make sure to cook them until tender before adding them to the filling.
✔ Homemade crust: If you have the time, homemade pie crust will elevate this dish even more. Use butter or shortening for a super flaky texture.
✔ Make it ahead: Vegetable pot pie can be assembled ahead of time and stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours before baking. You can also freeze the assembled pie for up to 3 months—just bake from frozen (you may need to add extra baking time).
✔ Vegan option: Use a plant-based butter and a non-dairy milk (like almond or coconut milk) to make this recipe completely vegan.
