Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2 cups Unsweetened almond milk (or plant milk of choice)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast (optional, for a cheesy flavor)
Instructions
Heat a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat.
Add the olive oil to the pan and let it warm up for 30 seconds.
Sprinkle the gluten-free all-purpose flour into the pan and whisk continuously to form a smooth paste (this is called a roux). Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste but do not let it brown.
Slowly pour in the unsweetened almond milk, a little at a time, whisking constantly to avoid lumps forming.
Continue stirring as the mixture thickens, about 3-5 minutes. Lower the heat to medium-low if it starts to bubble too aggressively.
Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and nutritional yeast (if using). Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Once the sauce reaches your desired consistency, remove it from the heat. If it's too thick, you can add more almond milk a tablespoon at a time until it reaches the desired texture.
Serve immediately or use in your favorite recipe. The sauce will thicken as it cools, so gently reheat with a splash of almond milk if needed.
