Preparation Steps
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Gather baking sheets and mixing bowls.
- In a large bowl, combine cubed butternut squash, sliced carrots, diced parsnips, sweet potatoes, and halved Brussels sprouts. Drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt, pepper, thyme, and rosemary. Toss to coat.
- Spread the vegetables on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until tender and slightly golden.
- Melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour, cooking for 1-2 minutes to make a roux.
- Gradually whisk in 2 cups of vegetable broth, allowing it to simmer for 3-4 minutes until thickened.
- Stir in 1/2 cup of heavy cream and fold in the roasted vegetables. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- On a floured surface, roll out the puff pastry and cut out rounds that fit your oven-safe bowls.
- Divide the filling among the bowls and cover with puff pastry rounds, sealing the edges.
- Brush the top of the pastry with a beaten egg for a shiny finish.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden and puffed. Cool slightly before serving.

Notes
Ensure the vegetable mixture is well-seasoned before adding the puff pastry for enhanced flavor. Use cold ingredients to maintain flaky pastry layers. Monitor baking to avoid over-browning.
