Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Toast the pecans by adding them to a dry skillet over medium heat. Stir frequently for about 5 minutes until they are fragrant and slightly darkened. Remove from heat and set aside.
Unroll the vegan pastry sheet onto a lightly floured surface. Use a rolling pin to gently stretch it if needed, ensuring it's large enough to fully wrap the vegan brie.
Place the vegan brie in the center of the pastry sheet.
In a small saucepan, melt the vegan butter over low heat. Add the vegan honey or agave syrup, salt, and fresh rosemary. Stir well to combine.
Drizzle half of this mixture over the top of the vegan brie.
Scatter the toasted pecans over the mixture on the brie.
Fold the pastry over the brie, sealing the edges to create a packet. If needed, use a bit of water to help seal the pastry.
Brush the outside of the pastry with vegan milk to promote golden browning during baking.
Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Drizzle the remaining butter and syrup mixture over the baked pastry before slicing and serving.
