Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Arrowroot powder
- 2 cups Vegetable broth
- 1 quarter cup Nutritional yeast flakes
- 1 tablespoon Coconut aminos (or tamari for flavor)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
Gradually whisk in the arrowroot powder, stirring continuously to form a smooth paste (often referred to as a roux). Cook for 1-2 minutes, but don't let it brown.
Slowly pour in the vegetable broth, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Once the mixture thickens slightly, add the nutritional yeast flakes, coconut aminos (or tamari), garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Continue simmering the gravy for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it reaches your desired consistency. If the gravy becomes too thick, add a small splash of vegetable broth to thin it out.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Remove from heat and serve warm over mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or your favorite dish.
