Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and garlic, sauté until translucent. Add sweet potatoes, carrots, and mushrooms if using, cook for 5-7 minutes.
  • Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir. Gradually pour in vegetable broth, stirring to create a smooth sauce. Add chickpeas, peas, soy sauce, thyme, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Roll out the vegan puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Trim to fit the oven-safe dish.
  • Transfer the filling to the oven-safe dish. Cover with the puff pastry, crimp edges with a fork to seal.

Serving

  • Place in the preheated oven, bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving.

Storage

  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for best results.
