Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup cauliflower florets
- 1 medium carrot
- 1 medium celery stalk
- 1 small yellow onion
- 2 large garlic clove
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon coconut aminos
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon arrowroot powder
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel and chop the carrot into small pieces, and chop the celery and onion into similar-sized pieces.
Place the cauliflower florets, chopped carrot, celery, onion, and whole garlic cloves on a baking sheet.
Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and toss to coat the vegetables evenly.
Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly browned.
In a large saucepan, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
Add the roasted vegetables, chicken or vegetable broth, coconut aminos, thyme, rosemary, black pepper, and sea salt to the saucepan.
Bring to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. If you don't have an immersion blender, transfer to a blender and allow to cool slightly before blending.
In a small bowl, mix the arrowroot powder with water to create a slurry.
Stir the arrowroot slurry into the gravy, and continue to simmer for another 3-5 minutes until the gravy thickens.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
Serve warm over your favorite Paleo dishes, such as roasted meats or vegetables.
