2 cups butternut squash, peeled and cubed
2 carrots, peeled and sliced
2 parsnips, peeled and sliced
1 ½ cups mushrooms, quartered
1 medium onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp butter
3 tbsp flour (all-purpose or gluten-free blend)
2 cups vegetable broth (low-sodium)
1 cup heavy cream (or coconut cream for dairy-free)
1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
1 tsp chopped sage
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 sheet puff pastry, thawed but cold
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss squash, carrots, parsnips, and mushrooms with olive oil, salt, and herbs. Roast for 25–30 minutes until golden.
In a skillet, melt butter. Add onion and garlic, cook until softened. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute.
Slowly whisk in broth and cream. Simmer 5–7 minutes until thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
Stir roasted vegetables into the sauce. Spoon into ramekins or a baking dish.
Cover with puff pastry, trimming edges and sealing. Cut a slit in the center. Brush with egg wash.
Bake 20–25 minutes until pastry is puffed and golden brown. Cool slightly before serving.
Make ahead: Assemble and refrigerate up to 24 hours before baking.
Freezer option: Freeze unbaked pies up to 2 months. Bake from frozen, adding 10 minutes.
Variations: Add chickpeas for protein, or swap squash with sweet potatoes.
