Servings: 2.5 cups
Calories: 54kcal
Ingredients
- ¼ cup plant-based butter
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 3 cubes bouillon preferably plant-based chicken-flavored, or substitute 1 tablespoon of salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
- In a medium-sized pot over low to medium heat, add the plant based butter and allow to melt. Then mix in the flour. Continuously whisk over medium heat until the sauce turns brown to create a flavorful roux perfect for thickening the gravy.
- Slowly pour in the vegetable broth, whisking as you go, allowing the broth to slowly incorporate with the roux. Add the bouillon (or salt), garlic powder, and onion powder. Cook over low heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove from heat and transfer to a gravy boat for serving or a container for storage.
Notes
Tips:
This gravy naturally thickens as it cools and when reheated, so the recipe is designed to strike a happy medium—perfect for serving fresh or warming up later. If you’d like to adjust the texture to your liking, simply modify the amount of flour in the roux. For a thicker consistency, add an extra tablespoon; for a thinner pour, use a little less. When reheating this vegan gravy, add more water to thin.
