Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
- 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Sprinkle the flour into the pan and whisk continuously for 1-2 minutes, creating a smooth roux.
Slowly pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
Add the almond milk, continuing to whisk until the mixture is smooth and starts to thicken.
Stir in the onion powder, garlic powder, dried thyme, black pepper, and kosher salt.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the gravy reaches your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt or pepper to enhance the flavor.
Remove the gravy from the heat and let it cool slightly before serving.
Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm over your favorite dish.
