Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons Vegan butter or margarine
• 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Vegetable broth
• 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce or tamari
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried sage
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 cup Unsweetened plant-based milk (optional, for creaminess)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, melt the vegan butter over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the all-purpose flour to the melted butter, whisking continuously to create a roux. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the mixture turns golden brown and no raw flour smell remains.

Step 3

Gradually pour in the vegetable broth while whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Continue whisking until the mixture begins to thicken, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the nutritional yeast, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, dried sage, black pepper, and salt. Mix well to incorporate all flavors.

Step 5

If you prefer a creamier gravy, stir in the unsweetened plant-based milk and whisk until combined.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and allow the gravy to simmer gently for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or soy sauce if desired.

Step 8

Remove from heat and serve the gravy warm over your favorite dishes like mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or biscuits.
