I think I've never done a Halloween-themed recipe on the blog 😅 Of course, there are tons with autumn flavors for this season, but not for the big night 😭 I'm not really into gory recipes, the whole fake eyeballs at the snack table deal and all that haha... but I like my blog to be comprehensive and have everything you might need, so I thought about creating something thematic yet cute that I would enjoy too!

I had some puff pastry in the freezer, so let's go for a puff pastry pie with squash and "ground meat" made from textured soy protein! To draw the face, I searched "pumpkin Halloween decor" to find some inspiration to recreate on my pastry 😍

Steps

Peel the onion and the squash, then cut them into small cubes.
In a skillet, heat the oil and sauté the onion. After 2-3 minutes, add the squash and sauté until the vegetables are golden.
Add the soy protein, soy sauce (or tamari), nutritional yeast, and water. Let it cook for about 20 minutes.
When the water has evaporated, season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of cinnamon. Pour in the soy cream. Set the filling aside.
Preheat the oven to 180°C (355°F).
Roll out one of the two puff pastry sheets and press it into your lightly oiled tart pan.
Top the dough with my filling.
Roll out the second puff pastry and cut out a scary or cute face of your choice. I made a big mouth, frowning eyes, and small nostrils.
Brush with a few drops of soy cream and bake for 40 minutes. It's ready!
