02 - 2 cups carrots, peeled and sliced
03 - 2 cups parsnips, peeled and sliced
04 - 2 cups sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
05 - 1 1/2 cups brussels sprouts, halved

→ Seasoning and Aromatics

06 - 3 tablespoons olive oil
07 - Salt, to taste
08 - Black pepper, to taste
09 - 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
10 - 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped

→ Base and Sauce

11 - 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
12 - 1 medium onion, chopped
13 - 3 cloves garlic, minced
14 - 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
15 - 2 cups vegetable broth
16 - 1/2 cup heavy cream

→ Pastry and Finish

17 - 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
18 - 1 egg, beaten

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat the oven to 200°C.
02 - In a large bowl, combine butternut squash, carrots, parsnips, sweet potatoes, and brussels sprouts. Drizzle with olive oil, add salt, pepper, thyme, and rosemary. Toss until vegetables are evenly coated.
03 - Spread vegetables on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 25–30 minutes, or until tender and caramelized. Remove from the oven and set aside.
04 - Melt butter in a large pan over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
05 - Add flour to the pan and stir constantly for 1–2 minutes until the flour loses its raw taste.
06 - Gradually whisk in vegetable broth, bringing mixture to a simmer. Allow to thicken for 3–4 minutes.
07 - Stir in heavy cream and add the roasted vegetables. Mix well and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if required. Remove from heat.
08 - Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Cut rounds slightly larger than the serving bowls or ramekins.
09 - Divide the vegetable mixture among oven-safe bowls. Place a pastry round over each bowl, pressing the edges to seal.
10 - Brush the tops of the pastry with beaten egg for a glossy, golden finish.
11 - Arrange the filled bowls on a baking sheet. Bake for 20–25 minutes at 200°C, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
12 - Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving hot.

# Extra Tips:

01 - Customize the vegetable selection according to season or personal preference.
02 - For enhanced flavor, add a splash of white wine to the broth.
03 - The pie filling can be prepared ahead and refrigerated separately from the pastry until ready to bake.
04 - For a richer taste, incorporate grated gruyère or other cheeses into the filling.
05 - Use vegan puff pastry and plant-based cream for a fully vegan adaptation.
