Easy Vegan Gravy
This Easy Vegan Gravy is rich, savory, and made with simple ingredients like onion, garlic, and nutritional yeast. It comes together in 15 minutes with no meat drippings required. Whisk, simmer, and serve over mashed potatoes, stuffing, or roasted veggies for a cozy plant-based side that everyone will love.
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup olive oil
- ⅓ cup onion finely diced
- 5 cloves garlic finely minced
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- ½ teaspoon dried sage
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning optional
- 2 cups vegetable broth
Instructions
- In a medium pot over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add in the onion and garlic and saute for 5 minutes.
- Whisk in flour, nutritional yeast, soy sauce, dried sage, salt, and pepper until a paste forms. Slowly whisk in the broth.
- Bring mixture to a boil and then lower heat to a gentle simmer. Simmer for 6-8 minutes to thicken the sauce.
- Optional step: Use a blender or hand blender to blend the gravy. I like it both ways, a little chunky from the onion and garlic AND super smooth once it's blended.
Notes
Storage Instructions: Let the gravy cool completely, then transfer to an airtight container. Refrigerate up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat on the stove over low heat, whisking in broth or water until smooth and pourable again.
