20+ Savory Vegan Pie Recipes For Dinner

These savory vegan pie recipes include Wellingtons, galettes, quiches, and even empanadas! Perfect for impressing guests at fancy dinners, too

By Lora O’Brien

‘If the English can survive their food, they can survive anything’ said G.B. Shaw. That genuinely makes me laugh because, let’s face it, we Brits do have some super weird meals. Toad in the hole, haggis, or bubble and squeak, anyone?

But I wouldn’t change my roots for anything! Especially when it comes to the food I’ve grown up eating. Okay, minus some vegan changes, of course! But the meals we Brits are famous for are the foods that, for me, are infused with nostalgia and fond childhood memories. And one I love more than anything? The classic pie!

Nothing better than a hot pie!

Ah, pies, how I love thee. Many Sundays have been spent in my household sitting down to a pie and mash dinner. Topped with warm gravy, what’s not to love? British pies are encased in fluffy pastry and cooked until golden. Inside, there’s a juicy stew of veggies and more gravy. What’s not to love?

Of course, each culture has their own version of savoury pies. The French have their quiches and their galettes; in the Caribbean, there are pasties, and in South America, the empanada reigns supreme. Greece has its spanakopita, India has samosas, and the Levantines love their borek.

No matter what it’s called or how it’s made, we all want comfort meals that warm us from the inside out this season, and these savory vegan pie recipes really fit the bill!

Below, I’ve found loads of yummy veg-in-pastry (a.k.a. vegan pie) recipes, so you can browse them and plan all your autumnal dinners. From vegan pot pies to delicate heirloom tomato tarts and hearty shepherd’s pies, there is lots to love!

These recipes prove that pies aren’t just for dessert! Oh, and did I mention that any of these beauties would be the perfect main for a vegan Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner?

20+ Delicious Vegan Pie Ideas For Supper

1. Vegan Spiral Vegetable Tart

Whoa, right? Spiral tarts always look SO impressive! They will really wow any guests you’re cooking for and brighten up any kitchen table as we venture into the gloomier months. This version is actually super healthy and loaded with veggies from caramelized onion to courgettes, eggplant, sweet potato and butternut pumpkin. You could even add some apples into this if you want a touch of sweetness. It’s so pretty, it’s perfect for Christmas dinner!

2. GF Vegan Pot Pie

These pot pies are reminiscent to something I grew up eating. Underneath the pastry topping is your pie stuffing, cooked in either stock or a rich gravy sauce. I can attest that a pot pie is tasty as heck, but it’s also pretty calorific! Filo pastry is a great way to keep pies lighter, as shortcrust pastry can be a little heavy.

4. GF Heirloom Tomato Tart

Tomatoes always remind me of my grandad. He would grow them in his garden and there’d always be a tub of freshly picked tomatoes waiting in the fridge whenever we visited. This tart is a great way to enjoy tomatoes, and including a variety of different tinier types makes it look aesthetically perfect – almost too good to eat!

5. Easy Mushroom Leek Quiche

I like to think of quiche as a cold pie. I mean, it’s essentially the same, but instead of a pastry topping, you get more of the yumminess that’s inside. This mushroom and leek quiche with chestnuts is really simple to make, yet super healthy and incredibly tasty. It’s egg-less, dairy-free and can easily be made gluten-free, too.

6. Vegan Mushroom, Cranberry and Chestnut Tart

This tart may look pretty fancy, but it’s actually really easy to make! It will be the perfect main dish for any table. You can even make it the day before, heating it up the next day when you’re ready to eat. It calls for wild mushrooms, but if you can’t source those, simply use more chestnut ones.

Oh, but I love a (vegan) cheese and onion combo! It’s just perfect in sandwiches, in a taco, on pizza, or in this case, in a pie. This pie is right up my vegan cheese alley: potato and onion filling baked between layers of flaky puff pastry – yum!

This crunchy-on-the-outside, creamy-on-the-inside rustic pie is full of lots of bold autumnal flavours: pumpkin, mushrooms and rosemary. Cooked in a plant-based ‘cream cheese’ sauce, it’s rich, decadent and rich in minerals and antioxidant thanks to the millet flour used.

Shepherd’s pie and cottage pie are traditional British recipes. Especially when the weather turns colder, these British staples are popular in any home. Traditionally made with beef or lamb, this vegan version uses…lentils! Great for plant-based protein, and the sweet potato topping adds a hint of sweetness which works super well with the savoury filling.

20. Curried Vegan Pasties

These Caribbean-inspired pasties are brimming with a curried coconut vegetable and chickpea filling, all wrapped in crisp shortcrust pastry. Adding a little turmeric helps to give the pastry that golden colour. These are easily transported to the office or school, so they’re perfect to take on the go.

21. Vegan Mushroom Wellington

A Wellington is another fabulous form of British pie: it’s literally veggies encased in pastry and baked. The traditional recipe uses beef, but this vegan version uses mushrooms. And they’re such a great meat-free option! They’re super juicy and lend lots of yummy texture to the Wellington. Perfect for a fancy vegan dinner!

While I like my pot pie topped with pastry, it can be made with potato, too. This vegan chick’un and veggie pie is comfort food as its best! The chicken style protein is smothered in a creamy white sauce with a fluffy mashed potato topping, and baked until all the flavours ooze from the pie – mmm!

24. Mushroom Pot Pie

This mushroom pot pie feels me with pure nostalgia! This is just like the pies I grew up eating, and I can’t wait to recreate this vegan version. Mushrooms make a great alternative to meat because, when cooked, they take on a meat-like texture. Throw in a creamy sauce, the warming flavours of bay leaf and thyme, and flaked pastry and you’ve got a winning pie!
