Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Vegan butter (or olive oil)
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Dried thyme
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- to taste Salt (to taste)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, melt the vegan butter (or heat olive oil) over medium heat.
Add the all-purpose flour and whisk continuously for 2-3 minutes to create a roux. The mixture should become a light golden-brown color and smell slightly nutty.
Slowly pour in the vegetable broth while whisking continuously to prevent lumps from forming.
Add the soy sauce, nutritional yeast, onion powder, garlic powder, dried thyme, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt, if needed.
Remove from heat and serve warm over mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or any dish that could use a hearty, plant-based gravy.
