Plant-based Thanksgiving recipes aren’t easy to come by, but this Vegan Pot Pie is the perfect entree for all the vegans and vegetarians at the table. They’re also easy enough to whip up for a weeknight dinner, so you can enjoy hearty vegetable pot pies all year long! Since they can be customized with your favorite vegetables and add-ins (more on that below!), everyone is guaranteed to love them. WATCH THE VIDEO TO SEE HOW IT’S MADE:
Vegan butter – I prefer the rich flavor of a plant-based butter, but you can use olive oil instead if you don’t have butter on hand. Onion – A yellow or white onion is perfect, or try switching things up by using two shallots. Carrots – Rainbow carrots can add a fun pop of color to the recipe. Celery Sliced mushrooms – Use cremini or white mushrooms. Garlic Fresh thyme – Fresh rosemary or sage can be used instead or in addition to the thyme. Gluten free flour – Use all-purpose flour if you’re not on a gluten free diet. Vegetable broth – Store-bought or homemade. Salt & pepper Frozen peas – Not a pea fan? You can use white beans instead. Regular phyllo dough or gluten free phyllo dough (also known as filo dough), gluten free vegan pie crust, or gluten free puff pastry – You can buy gluten free phyllo or you can make phyllo if you’re feeling adventurous. Of course, if you’re not on a gluten free diet, use any type of pastry dough you like.

Add different vegetables. Try diced butternut squash, potatoes (sweet or not!), broccoli, cauliflower, asparagus, green beans, or anything that strikes your fancy. Make it cheesy. If you want the sauce to have some cheesy flavor, add nutritional yeast to taste or fold in your favorite meltable plant-based cheese. Make it meaty. A plant-based sausage would be an amazing addition to these Vegan Pot Pies. Just crumble it up and fold it in with the peas.
