    Delicious pot pie and pizza are an easy dinner idea. I love baking them from scratch whenever I get time. Otherwise frozen pot pie and frozen pizzas are a great option. Pies got my attention ever since I saw pie face :). There is a reason I love pot pies. It is a complete meal in itself with a crispy crust and a creamy sauce inside. You can have it on the go too if you have less time. Below recipe is of an air fried vegan pie. It just tastes as great as the market one.

    There are many easy weeknight dinners you can make if you are air frying. Ninja foodi definitely helps me put food on dinner table on my busy weeknights. Avoiding takeaway and definitely keeps spending within my budget. You can cook many frozen foods like air fryer frozen asparagus, air fryer frozen beans, garlic bread. You can make many easy air fryer recipes from potatoes too. Be it French fries, crinkle chips, potato cakes, hashbrowns and fingerling potatoes. Comfort food at its best!

    Air fryer has been a game changer for making snacks like these . Other air fryer snacks include air fryer vegetable pasties, air fryer chocolate mug cake, air fryer twinkies

    Notes

    I used 1 pastry sheet(10 inch x 10 inch with 4 inch x 6 inch ceramic pot). used the leftover cuts to roll over for some extra decorations on top of the pastry
    To cook this in oven, cook for 22-24 minutes in a preheated oven at the same temperature as the air fryer

    Variations & Substitution

    You can add any mixed vegetables to it like broccoli, corn, baby corn, carrots and peas for a mixed vegetable stir fry as your tasty pot pie filling.

    You may use any kinds of mushrooms for this recipe fresh or frozen. Make a vegetarian pot pie by using paneer instead of tofu. Add left over curry to shortcut pastry sheet and make a quick meal. This will reduce your cooking time. Some people also like to put some egg wash on top of the pies. However, it is fine even without it. Adding egg wash just gives it more crispy finish.

    You can use different items especially mushrooms, tofu and pumpkins in the filling. Some people dislike these veggies as a whole but are ok when they are in a smaller quantity. Best way you can feed picky kids nutritious veggies underneath that crisp flaky crust. While larger pot pie is great for a gathering, smaller pot pie is also a good idea for bento boxes.

    Storage

    Store it in refrigerator for 3-4 days or freeze it. Always reheat before you serve your leftovers.

    Top tip: Always preheat your air fryer for 5-10 minutes like an oven for best results.

    FAQ

    What causes a pie crust to not be flaky?

    Overworking causes them to fail.

    How long should pie crust rest after making it?

    Atleast 30 mins or overnight.

    Should I cover my pie with foil overnight?

    Best to cover with an aluminum foil or a cling film.

    Conclusion: Easy homemade pot pie is a great option for an easy meal. It is definitely a great way to use medley of various vegetables.
