Ingredients

• 1 cup cauliflower florets
• 1 medium carrot
• 1 medium celery stalk
• 1 small yellow onion
• 2 large garlic clove
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
• 1 tablespoon coconut aminos
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 tablespoon arrowroot powder
• 2 tablespoons water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Peel and chop the carrot into small pieces, and chop the celery and onion into similar-sized pieces.

Step 3

Place the cauliflower florets, chopped carrot, celery, onion, and whole garlic cloves on a baking sheet.

Step 4

Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and toss to coat the vegetables evenly.

Step 5

Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly browned.

Step 6

In a large saucepan, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.

Step 7

Add the roasted vegetables, chicken or vegetable broth, coconut aminos, thyme, rosemary, black pepper, and sea salt to the saucepan.

Step 8

Bring to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 9

Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. If you don't have an immersion blender, transfer to a blender and allow to cool slightly before blending.

Step 10

In a small bowl, mix the arrowroot powder with water to create a slurry.

Step 11

Stir the arrowroot slurry into the gravy, and continue to simmer for another 3-5 minutes until the gravy thickens.

Step 12

Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.

Step 13

Serve warm over your favorite Paleo dishes, such as roasted meats or vegetables.
