Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Heat olive oil in a large pot. Add onion, carrots, and celery. Cook until tender, about 8 minutes.
  3. Stir in garlic, thyme, and rosemary. Cook for one minute.
  4. Sprinkle flour over vegetables and stir to coat, creating a roux.
  5. Slowly whisk in vegetable broth and plant-based milk. Simmer until thick and creamy.
  6. Stir in lentils or chickpeas, peas, corn, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Roll out one pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish. Fill with the creamy mixture.
  8. Place the second crust on top. Crimp edges and cut slits for steam to escape.
  9. Bake for 30–35 minutes, until golden brown and bubbly.
  10. Let the pot pie rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Make it richer by adding a spoonful of cashew cream to the filling. Use fresh herbs for maximum flavor. For an elegant touch, cut leaf-shaped decorations from extra dough and place on top. Let it rest before slicing for clean servings.
