Since my husband began his gluten-free diet, it has been difficult finding a gluten-free gravy recipe everyone enjoys.

We tried some packaged gravies, but they just didn't hit the spot.

Therefore, I decided to take on the task of creating my own gluten-free gravy that the whole family would love.

Ingredients

All-Purpose Gluten-Free Flour Blend - Personally, I find Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free, All-Purpose Baking Flour to work best.
Butter - To make this gravy vegan, use vegan butter instead.
Vegetable Broth
Gravy Master - This helps to achieve the caramel color of the gravy and adds flavor. And, it happens to be one of my childhood staples. If my memory serves me right, I watched my father use this browning/seasoning sauce countless times during during my childhood. It's also gluten-free and vegan!
Salt
Black Pepper
Fresh Herbs - I opted for a mix of fresh rosemary, sage and thyme.

How to Make This Vegetarian Gravy

To start, melt the butter (or vegan butter) in a saucepan over medium heat.

Next, make a roux by whisking the melted butter with gluten-free flour.

Then, whisk in vegetable broth.

Next, whisk in the herbs, Gravy Master, salt and black pepper.

Cook over medium-high heat until gravy reaches a boil.

Then, reduce to a simmer, stirring until gravy is at its desired thickness.

Ideas for serving

This gravy is perfect for your favorite vegetarian and vegan dishes.

We love it on top of the vegetarian/vegan version of these mashed potatoes without milk, these mashed potatoes with almond milk and this vegetarian meatloaf.

Do I have to use Gravy Master?

If you can't find Gravy Master in your local grocery store, you can buy it online or use a similar browning sauce of your choice such as Kitchen Bouquet.

Just be sure to check ingredient labels to ensure the brand you choose is gluten-free as well as vegan, if desired.
