Sweet Potato Topped Vegetable Pie – Vegetarian Friendly

Looking for a cheap and tasty vegetarian meal? This sweet potato topped vegetable pie is a catch-all recipe-use whatever veg you have on hand.

This vegetable pie recipe that is inexpensive and jam-packed full of vegetables.

A great catch all, ‘clear-out-the-crisper‘ recipe, you can throw whatever vegetables you have on hand into this pie. It’s very flexible. Consider the recipe a suggestion only.

And if you’re not after a vegetarian option, you can throw in leftover meat or bacon as well.

This pie uses sweet potato as the topper rather than pastry. You can totally switch out the sweet potato for regular white potato, or frozen puff pastry for something different.

I use homemade vegetable stock rather than. To add a little bit of creaminess back in, you can add a dollop of sour cream or yoghurt. This is a great way to use up stuff in the fridge.
