Thaw the vegan puff pastry sheets according to package instructions and keep them chilled until ready to use.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3–4 minutes until translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the diced carrot and zucchini to the skillet. Cook for 5–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are slightly softened.
Mix in the frozen peas, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 2–3 minutes until the peas are heated through. Remove the skillet from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out each puff pastry sheet slightly to smooth the seams, if necessary. Cut each sheet into 4 equal squares, making 8 squares total.
Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the cooled veggie filling onto the center of each square.
Fold each square diagonally to form a triangle, and pinch the edges together to seal completely. If needed, use a fork to crimp the edges for a tighter seal.
Place the veggie puffs onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one.
Brush the tops of the puffs lightly with plant-based milk to encourage browning.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and flaky.
Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, and serve warm. Enjoy your dairy-free veggie puffs!
