Ingredients
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 5-6 tablespoon chickpea flour (aka garbanzo bean flour) (start with 5 tablespoons and keep additional tablespoon on reserve)
- 2 ¾-3 cups gluten-free, low-sodium vegetable broth (start with 2 ¾ cups and keep ¼ cup on reserve
- 3 tablespoon gluten-free, reduced sodium tamari
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon crushed, dried rosemary (I recommend using whole dried rosemary and crushing yourself either with a mortal and pestle or by breaking up with your fingers as the flavor is better this way)
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Kosher salt to taste
Instructions
- Combine 2 ¾ cup vegetable broth, tamari, onion powder, garlic powder and rosemary in a pourable vessel. Whisk together and set aside.
- Then start your roux by heating olive oil in a sauce pan over medium heat. Whisk in 5 tablespoons of the chickpea flour. Keep whisking until it is smooth. It will be a golden color and have a nutty aroma. Be careful not to burn the roux. If it starts to turn brown, it's starting to burn.
- Whisk in the vegetable broth mixture. Bring to a boil, whisking consistently, until desired thickness is reached. As it reaches a boil, it will begin to thicken. If the gravy is not thick enough for your liking, whisk in more chickpea flour. If it is too thick, whisk in more broth.
- Once the gravy has reached desired thickness, turn off the heat and stir in freshly ground black pepper and kosher salt to taste.

Reheat leftovers in a microwave safe dish in 30-second intervals, stirring in between. You can also reheat in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring constantly until heated throughout. If frozen, allow gravy to thaw completely in the airtight container in the refrigerator before reheating.
