Guilt Free Vegan Gravy

This low fat, flavorful vegan gravy is a great compliment for savory dishes and potatoes. Honestly, we have been making it and using it for years, long before we went vegan. In fact, when we were mostly vegetarian, I would cook a turkey for the family on Thanksgiving and we used this gravy. My daughter recently told me that she never really liked turkey, but she ate it for the gravy!

Vegan Gravy That Goes with Everything

This vegan gravy is also very versatile. Sometimes we switch it up, adding sautéed mushrooms or dried shallots, but it really is wonderful just as is. We occasionally will make a meal out of baked potatoes and broccoli smothered in this gravy. It checks all the boxes for the comfort food quality of gravy, but it has almost no fat (just from the plant milk) and is cruelty-free. This gravy is wonderful served with my easy Instant Pot Turk’y Style Seitan.

A Quick Cooking Tip About Sodium Content

A thought about vegetable broth: be aware of the sodium content. Many brands are loaded with salt. My absolute go-to is Vogue Cuisine brand Instant Vegebase. It is low sodium, non-GMO and MSG, and preservative-free. It is in an easily reconstituted powder form, reducing all the packaging that comes with cartons and cans. I use 1 tsp per cup of water.

This vegan gravy goes wonderfully with so many dishes and foods. Check out our Roasted Garlic Mashed Red Potatoes, for example, or our Vegan Shepherd’s Pie, and don’t forget about pairing it with a serving of Cranberry & Pear Chutney for a special treat!
