Preheat your oven to 200Β°C (400Β°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sautΓ© for 5 minutes until transparent.
Add the minced garlic, diced carrot, and potato to the skillet. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
Stir in the chopped mushrooms and cook until they are soft and all excess liquid has evaporated, about 5 more minutes.
Add the cooked lentils, tomato paste, soy sauce, dried thyme, pepper, and salt to the skillet. Stir well to combine and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let the filling cool slightly.
On a floured surface, roll out the vegan puff pastry to about 1/8 inch thick. Cut the pastry into 6-inch circles using a plate or bowl as a guide.
Place approximately 1/4 cup of the lentil and vegetable mixture onto one half of each pastry circle. Brush the edges of the pastry with water.
Fold the pastry over the filling to form a semi-circle, pressing the edges together. Use a fork to crimp the edges and seal the pasty.
Place the pasties on the prepared baking tray and brush the tops with oat milk to help them brown.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and flaky.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy the pasties warm or at room temperature.
