Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2 cups Unsweetened almond milk (or plant milk of choice)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast (optional, for a cheesy flavor)
Directions
Step 1
Heat a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat.
Step 2
Add the olive oil to the pan and let it warm up for 30 seconds.
Step 3
Sprinkle the gluten-free all-purpose flour into the pan and whisk continuously to form a smooth paste (this is called a roux). Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste but do not let it brown.
Step 4
Slowly pour in the unsweetened almond milk, a little at a time, whisking constantly to avoid lumps forming.
Step 5
Continue stirring as the mixture thickens, about 3-5 minutes. Lower the heat to medium-low if it starts to bubble too aggressively.
Step 6
Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and nutritional yeast (if using). Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Step 7
Once the sauce reaches your desired consistency, remove it from the heat. If it's too thick, you can add more almond milk a tablespoon at a time until it reaches the desired texture.
Step 8
Serve immediately or use in your favorite recipe. The sauce will thicken as it cools, so gently reheat with a splash of almond milk if needed.
