Can I use different beans in this pot pie recipe?

Yes, while navy beans provide a creamy texture, cannellini or great northern beans can be substituted for a similar result in this pot pie.

How do I know when the potatoes are fork-tender?

The russet potatoes are fork-tender when they can be easily pierced with a fork without resistance, typically after simmering for about 15 minutes in the vegetable stock.

What if I have leftover puff pastry squares?

The recipe notes you may have some pastry squares left over; these can be baked separately on the parchment-lined baking sheet alongside the skillet for a crispy snack.

How should I store leftover Veggie Skillet Pot Pie?

Leftover pot pie can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave.

Can I use fresh peas instead of frozen?

Yes, you can use fresh green peas, but add them during the last few minutes of simmering with the navy beans to ensure they cook through without becoming mushy.

How to Prepare Veggie Skillet Pot Pie [Vegan]

Preheat the oven: Place an oven rack in the center position and preheat to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Sauté the vegetables: In a 12-inch (30 cm) oven-safe skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the grapeseed oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and sauté, stirring frequently, until golden brown around the edges, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the carrots and mushrooms and sauté, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté, stirring constantly, until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.
Simmer the filling: To the skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon grapeseed oil and the flour, and toss to coat. Add the vegetable stock, stirring to incorporate the flour until no clumps remain. Add the potatoes, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer, stirring frequently, until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Stir in the navy beans, peas, and chives. Remove from the heat.
Meanwhile, prep the puff pastry: Unroll a pastry sheet onto a lightly floured work surface. Using a rolling pin, gently smooth out any creases. Cut the pastry into nine 3-inch (8 cm) squares. Repeat with the other pastry sheet. Transfer the pastry squares to the prepared baking sheet and freeze for 10 minutes. 2
Assemble and bake: Layer the chilled pastry squares, slightly overlapping, over the filling in the skillet (you may have some squares left over 3 ). Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the puff pastry is golden brown, about 30 minutes.
