Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 tablespoon Nutritional yeast
- 0.25 teaspoon Dry sage (optional)
Instructions
Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, sprinkle in the all-purpose flour. Stir continuously using a whisk or wooden spoon to create a smooth paste called a roux. Cook the roux for 2-3 minutes, until it becomes bubbly and just begins to change to a slightly darker color.
Gradually pour unsweetened almond milk into the saucepan, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
Increase the heat to medium-high and continue whisking for 5-7 minutes, until the mixture thickens to the desired gravy consistency.
Reduce the heat to low and season the gravy with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, nutritional yeast, and dry sage (if using). Adjust seasoning to taste as needed.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit for a minute before serving, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Serve warm over your favorite dishes, like biscuits, potatoes, or any entree that could use a rich, savory touch.
