Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Vegan butter or margarine
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce or tamari
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried sage
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened plant-based milk (optional, for creaminess)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, melt the vegan butter over medium heat.
Add the all-purpose flour to the melted butter, whisking continuously to create a roux. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the mixture turns golden brown and no raw flour smell remains.
Gradually pour in the vegetable broth while whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Continue whisking until the mixture begins to thicken, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the nutritional yeast, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, dried sage, black pepper, and salt. Mix well to incorporate all flavors.
If you prefer a creamier gravy, stir in the unsweetened plant-based milk and whisk until combined.
Reduce the heat to low and allow the gravy to simmer gently for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or soy sauce if desired.
Remove from heat and serve the gravy warm over your favorite dishes like mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or biscuits.
