Ingredients

Vegetables

  • 2 lbs butternut squash, peeled, 1-inch cubes (or sub other winter squash, about 6 cups cubed)
  • 1 large parsnip (1/2 inch diced)
  • 1 large carrot (1/2 inch diced)
  • 1-2 tablespoons olive oil (for roasting vegetables)
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt and pepper (to season vegetables)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil (or butter) (for sautéing)
  • 1 large onion (diced)
  • 4-6 cloves garlic (rough chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh sage (chopped (or sub thyme or rosemary))
  • 1 cup celery (chopped (or diced fennel bulb))
  • 3 tablespoons flour (for thickening)
  • 1.5 cups veggie broth (warm and flavorful)
  • 1 cup almond milk (or soy, oat, or regular milk)
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 big handful lacinato kale (chopped, stems removed)
  • 1 cup cooked lentils (or frozen peas)

Puff Pastry

  • 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed, about 250 grams)
  • for brushing olive oil or egg wash (for topping)

Instructions 

  • Roast the diced butternut squash, carrots, and parsnips with olive oil, salt, and pepper at 400°F for 25-35 minutes.
  • Saute onion, garlic, celery, and sage in oil until golden. Stir in flour, then gradually add veggie broth and almond milk, simmer until thickened.
  • Fold roasted vegetables, kale, and lentils into the sauce. Adjust seasoning and consistency as needed.
  • Unroll puff pastry, roll out slightly larger than the pan, and place over the filling. Cut slits and brush with oil or egg wash.
  • Bake at 400°F for 20 minutes, then lower to 350°F and bake for an additional 10 minutes until golden.

Notes

Roasting vegetables beforehand enhances flavor. Adjust seasoning to taste and ensure puff pastry is fully thawed before use.
