Ingredients

⅓ cup - olive oil
⅓ cup - onion
5 cloves - garlic
¼ cup - all-purpose flour
1 ½ tablespoons - nutritional yeast
2 tablespoons - soy sauce
½ tsp - dried sage
½ tsp - salt
¼ tsp - ground black pepper
1 tsp - poultry seasoning
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.
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.
