Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups butternut squash, peeled and cubed
- 1 cup carrots, peeled and sliced
- 1 cup parsnips, peeled and sliced
- 1 cup sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 1/2 cups brussels sprouts, halved
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, mix together the butternut squash, carrots, parsnips, sweet potatoes, and brussels sprouts. Drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt, pepper, thyme, and rosemary. Toss until well-coated.
- Spread the vegetables on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until they are tender and caramelized. Remove from the oven and set aside.
- In a large pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, cooking until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the flour and cook while stirring for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
- Gradually whisk in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook until it thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in the heavy cream and the roasted vegetables, mixing well. Taste and season with more salt and pepper if needed, then remove from heat.
- If needed, preheat the oven again to 400°F (200°C).
- Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Cut it into rounds that are slightly larger than the tops of your oven-safe bowls or ramekins.
- Divide the vegetable mixture into the bowls. Place a puff pastry round on top of each bowl, pressing the edges to seal.
- Brush the tops with the beaten egg to get a golden brown finish when baking.
- Place the bowls on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
- Let the pies cool slightly before serving hot.
Notes
Cut vegetables evenly for consistent cooking. Try herbs like sage or oregano for variation. Thicken sauce by simmering longer before adding cream. Puff pastry can be swapped for pie crust or biscuit dough.
