Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the finely chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes, until translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute, ensuring it doesn't burn.
Add the sliced cremini mushrooms to the skillet and cook for about 7-8 minutes until they are soft and have released their juices.
Add the chopped thyme and rosemary, stirring to combine with the mushrooms and onions.
Pour in the vegetable broth and coconut aminos, stirring well to incorporate all the flavors.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
In a small bowl, mix the arrowroot powder with water to create a slurry.
Slowly pour the arrowroot slurry into the skillet, stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
Let the gravy simmer for another 2-3 minutes until it thickens to your desired consistency.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
If you prefer a smoother gravy, use an immersion blender or transfer the mixture to a blender and blend until smooth.
Serve the gravy warm over your favorite vegetables or dish.
