Add the gluten-free nutritional yeast flakes, tamarind paste, molasses, gluten-free soy sauce (tamari), miso paste, and vegetable broth to a small saucepan.
Place the saucepan over medium-low heat and stir the ingredients together until they are well combined and form a thick, smooth paste.
Add the olive oil, salt, and ground black pepper to the mixture, stirring continuously to ensure even incorporation.
Lower the heat to a gentle simmer and continue stirring for 10-12 minutes, or until the mixture reaches the consistency of a spreadable paste.
Taste and adjust the seasoning by adding more salt or tamari if a stronger umami flavor is desired.
Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature. Transfer it to an airtight container or sterilized jar.
Store the gluten-free Vegemite in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Serve it thinly spread on gluten-free toast or crackers for the best experience!
