Let’s Get Cooking!

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This is the excitement part where the kitchen starts to fill with delicious aromas!

  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the onions and garlic, sautéing until the onions are translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Oh, that smell! You just might find yourself dancing around the kitchen, I know I do.

  3. Toss in the carrots, potatoes, peas, and corn into the skillet. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, just enough to get a little color on those veggies.

  4. Now, stir in the vegetable broth, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat, cooking until slightly thickened, around 5 minutes. At this point, you should definitely scrape the yummy bits off the bottom of the pan!

  5. Pour the dreamy vegetable mixture into a pie crust placed in a pie dish, smooth it out a bit to make it look nice.

  6. Cover it all up with another pie crust, sealing the edges and cutting slits in the top for ventilation. This is where the magic happens, folks.

  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and crisp. The anticipation will make you want to dive right in!

  8. Let it cool for a bit before serving. Seriously, don’t burn your tongue here, it’s worth the wait!

Serving and Storage Tips

How to Serve This Vegetable Pot Pie

Serve your vegetable pot pie hot, straight out of the oven, paired with a fresh green salad or some crusty bread for a complete meal. If you want to kick it up a notch, a little sprinkle of fresh herbs on top can add a nice touch!

Storage

This pot pie keeps well in the fridge for about 3-4 days. Store it in an airtight container to keep it fresh.

Reheating Instructions

The best way to reheat this dish is to pop it back in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through. It’s important to get that crust crispy again. Who wants a soggy crust, right?

Freezer Friendly

Yes, this Vegetable Pot Pie is freezer friendly! Just freeze before baking. When you’re ready, let it thaw overnight in the fridge, then bake as directed. You can also bake then freeze, just know that the texture may change a bit once thawed.
