I’ve always enjoyed veggie pot pies, even the frozen ones from the grocery store. I like the idea of a one dish meal contained in a pie crust. There’s just something very appealing about it.

A few years ago I was in the mood for pot pie and decided to make my own. Using ingredients I had on hand, I recreated a traditional chicken pot pie recipe with all plant-based foods – including tofu. It turned out so good and it was really simple to do!

The flavor & textures were just like I remembered from the pot pies I enjoyed during my childhood, but I loved this version so much more because it was 100% vegan.

How to Make Easy Homemade Vegan Pot Pie

What’s great about this recipe is you can use what you have on hand. Keep it easy! I love making my own pie crust, but if you don’t have time, store bought pie crust is fine! I like to keep frozen mixed veggies in my freezer & they’re ideal for pot pie. If you don’t have tofu in your fridge, no worries. Cut up vegan chicken strips, seitan, or add chickpeas instead.

With just a few basic ingredients and some simple steps, you’ll have the best vegan pot pies out of the oven in about an hour!

Print Recipe

Equipment

• 8 – 8oz oven proof ramekins or two 32 oz round baking dishes or one 64 oz soufflé dish
• 5 qt stove top pot
• 4 qt stove top pot with lid
• 1 skillet
• 1 baking sheet
• Measuring cup
• Measuring spoons
• veggie peeler
• Cutting board
• kitchen knife

Ingredients

• 2 cups tofu firm or extra firm – drained and diced in small cubes
• 2 tbsp olive oil extra virgin
• 1/2 tsp garlic salt
• 1/4 tsp sage dried or fresh – minced
• 1 cup potatoes Yukon Gold – peeled and diced in small cubes
• 1-1/2 cups mixed vegetables frozen/thawed – carrots, peas, green beans, corn
• 1/2 cup onion diced
• 1/4 cup vegan butter
• 1/4 cup flour
• 3/4 tsp thyme dried or fresh – minced
• 3/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 2 cups vegetable broth
• 1 tsp vegetable bouillon
• 2 pie crusts (top and bottom crust) vegan store bought dough or homemade – see recipe our recipe for Easy Vegan Pie Crust

Instructions

• Prepare pie crust dough and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Press and drain tofu. Dice into small cubes.
• Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in skillet. Add tofu and 1/2 tsp garlic salt and sage. Cook over medium high heat, turning frequently until tofu is just lightly browned. Remove from heat.
• In a 4 qt pot, cover diced potatoes in water. Cover with lid and bring to a boil for 5 – 7 minutes until just slightly tender (don't over cook). Drain water and set aside.
• Melt butter in 5 qt pot over med-high heat. Add onions and sauté until tender. Gradually add flour, stirring continuously. Once flour has thickened into a paste-like consistency, began adding broth and bouillon – a small amount at a time – stirring constantly, allowing sauce to thicken before adding more liquid. Add thyme, salt & pepper to taste.
• Remove from heat and gently mix in potatoes, tofu and thawed veggies. Set aside.
• Preheat oven to 425°
• Fill bottom of ramekins or pie plate with pie crust dough.
• Spoon veggie/sauce mixture into pie crust until just below top edge.
• Place top layer of pie crust dough over veggie/sauce mixture. Seal edges all around and pierce top of crust 3 or 4 times with a small knife.
• Place pot pie(s) on foil lined baking sheet.
• Bake at 425° for 30 – 40 minutes until crust is golden brown.

Notes

🥕This recipe makes enough filling for eight 8 oz ramekins, two 32 oz round baking dishes or one 64 oz soufflé dish. Depending on how thin or thick you roll your pie dough, you might need a little extra dough. If you prefer to create a smaller batch, simply reduce the ingredients by half.

🥕Be sure to thoroughly drain your tofu before using it. A tofu press makes the job a  lot easier, but if you don’t have one, simply layer tofu between two cutting boards and set heavy cans on top. Be sure to place it near the edge of a sink to drain.

🥕Keep an eye on your pot pies while baking. Individual pot pies in ramekins will cook faster than a large one-dish pie. I suggest checking them in 5 minute intervals starting at around 20 – 25 minutes. You might want to add a foil collar around a large one-dish pie to prevent the edge of the crust from burning.

🥕Leftover pot pie can be stored in the fridge for a couple days or in the freezer.
