Ingredients
Scale
Crust:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup Country Crock® Plant Butter Sticks with Avocado Oil
- 4 to 6 tablespoons ice water
Root Vegetable Filling:
- 2 tablespoons Country Crock® Plant Butter Sticks with Avocado Oil
- 1 sweet onion
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 large cloves garlic
- 3 large carrots
- 2 red potatoes
- 1 bulb celery root
- 2 cups coarsely chopped butternut squash
- 3 cups vegetable stock
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon dried rosemary leaves
- 3 tablespoons flour
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Wash and peel the root vegetables. Chop them into even pieces for uniform roasting.
- Spread the vegetables on a baking sheet, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of plant butter, and season with salt, pepper, thyme, and rosemary. Toss to coat evenly.
- Roast for 25–30 minutes, tossing halfway, until caramelized and tender.
- In a heavy-bottomed pot, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of plant butter over medium heat. Add diced onion and garlic, sauté until fragrant.
- Stir in the flour to form a roux. Gradually whisk in the vegetable stock, creating a smooth sauce.
- Blend the sauce using an immersion blender (if needed) to achieve a creamy consistency.
- Mix the roasted vegetables into the sauce, coating evenly. Simmer on low for 5–10 minutes.
- Serve warm as a main dish or side.
Notes
- For a dairy-free option, use cashew cream or soy yogurt in place of heavy cream.
- Roasted veggies can be prepared ahead of time and reheated.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3–5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
