Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 3 tablespoons vegan butter
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon sage
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon smoked paprika
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, melt the vegan butter over medium heat.
Once melted, add the all-purpose flour, whisking constantly to create a roux. Cook the roux for 2-3 minutes, stirring continually to avoid burning.
Gradually whisk in the almond milk and vegetable broth, ensuring there are no lumps and the mixture is smooth.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Stir continuously as the gravy begins to thicken, roughly 5-7 minutes.
Add the nutritional yeast, onion powder, garlic powder, sage, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika to the saucepan. Whisk thoroughly to combine.
Allow the gravy to cook and thicken to your desired consistency, around 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Taste and adjust seasonings as necessary, adding more salt or pepper if needed.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the gravy cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm over your favorite vegan biscuit or mashed potato dish. Enjoy!
