Preheat the oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C).
To make the pie crust, combine whole wheat pastry flour and unsalted butter in a large bowl. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Press the dough into the dish and trim the edges. Prick the bottom with a fork and refrigerate while preparing the filling.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautΓ©ing until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the diced carrots, zucchini, red bell pepper, broccoli florets, and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender.
Stir in the low-sodium vegetable broth, thyme, rosemary, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
In a small bowl, whisk together unsweetened almond milk and cornstarch. Pour the mixture into the skillet, stirring constantly until the filling thickens, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped parsley.
Pour the vegetable filling into the prepared crust.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Allow the pie to cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your low sodium savory vegetable pie!
