MINI CARROT PIES
Ingredients
2 tbsp. olive oil, plus more for ramekins
1 medium onion, chopped
1 lb. carrots, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tbsp. fresh thyme leaves
1/4 c. all-purpose flour
2 c. whole milk
1/2 c. fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 sheet frozen puff pastry (from a 17.3-ounce package), thawed
