Instructions
Preparation Steps
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Toss the butternut squash, carrots, parsnips, sweet potatoes, and Brussels sprouts in a large bowl with olive oil, salt, pepper, thyme, and rosemary until well coated.
Spread the vegetables evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes until tender and caramelized.
Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat, then sauté the onion and garlic until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.
Whisk in vegetable broth gradually and simmer until thickened, about 3-4 minutes.
Incorporate heavy cream and roasted vegetables into the sauce, mixing well. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
Roll out puff pastry and cut into rounds larger than your oven-safe bowls.
Divide the vegetable mixture into bowls, then top with puff pastry, sealing the edges.
Brush the tops with beaten egg for a golden finish while baking.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the puff pastry is golden brown.
Cool slightly before serving hot.
