Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free flour and salt. Add the cold, diced butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add the beaten egg and mix to combine. Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Do not overmix.
Form the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent.
Add the diced carrot, zucchini, and bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, adding the salt, pepper, thyme, and oregano, until the vegetables are tender.
Stir in the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
Roll out the chilled dough between two sheets of parchment paper to fit a 9-inch pie pan. Gently press the dough into the pan, trimming any excess.
Transfer the cooled vegetable mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.
Brush the pastry edges with the beaten egg and bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
