Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 2

Once the olive oil is hot, add the all-purpose flour, whisking continuously for about 1-2 minutes until the mixture forms a smooth paste (roux) and is lightly golden in color.

Step 3

Slowly pour in the unsweetened almond milk, whisking constantly to avoid lumps.

Step 4

Continue to whisk the mixture until it begins to thicken and comes to a simmer, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and season the gravy with sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Step 6

Stir in the nutritional yeast for added flavor and creaminess.

Step 7

Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the gravy reaches your desired thickness.

Step 8

Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or pepper to your preference.

Step 9

If using, stir in the optional chopped fresh herbs just before serving for added freshness and flavor.

Step 10

Serve the dairy-free country gravy hot over biscuits, mashed potatoes, or your preferred dish.
