Veggies, Chickpeas (or lentils), fresh herbs, herbed mashed sweet potato and a crusty garlic top. This savory pie just shot to the top in the running for the Vegan Thanksgiving entree.

Thanksgiving and potlucks around the holidays are a good time to whip up some savory filling meals. This Easy Casserole is filled with a veggie, herb, chickpea filling. Mashed sweet potato with vegan butter and thyme is layered over the filling. Breadcrumbs mixed with olive oil, minced garlic and rosemary finish the dish, to get a garlicky crusty top. Make this Vegan Shepherd’s Pie! I made individual servings, because everything is more fun in individual ramekins. Bake into ramekins or one baking pan. Use veggies of choice. Use cooked lentils instead of chickpeas for variation. Use potatoes, butternut squash for variation.

Gorgeous colors, savory flavors, warming, and delicious.

Make the chickpea veggie filling. Cook and Mash sweet potatoes. Prep the garlic crumb herb topping.

Assemble in individual ramekins. Fill two thirds of the container with chickpea veggie filling. Add a layer of mashed sweet potatoes. Sprinkle some breadcrumb mixture on top and bake. The breadcrumb idea is from Jamie Oliver’s vegetarian Shepherd’s pie.
