Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons Vegan butter (or olive oil)
• 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Vegetable broth
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
• 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Dried thyme

• 0 to taste Salt (to taste)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, melt the vegan butter (or heat olive oil) over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the all-purpose flour and whisk continuously for 2-3 minutes to create a roux. The mixture should become a light golden-brown color and smell slightly nutty.

Step 3

Slowly pour in the vegetable broth while whisking continuously to prevent lumps from forming.

Step 4

Add the soy sauce, nutritional yeast, onion powder, garlic powder, dried thyme, and black pepper. Stir to combine.

Step 5

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency.

Step 6

Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt, if needed.

Step 7

Remove from heat and serve warm over mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or any dish that could use a hearty, plant-based gravy.
