Ingredients

1.25 cup water
3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce tamari for gluten-free
3 tablespoons nutritional yeast flakes
1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon cornstarch or arrowroot powder

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Whisk together the water and 7 simple ingredients in a microwave-safe bowl, and place in the microwave for about 2-minutes, stirring at the halfway mark.
One of the ingredients needs to be a thickener of some sort, and you can use flour, cornstarch, or arrowroot powder. Personally, I like to use arrowroot powder because it doesn’t clump nearly as much and it’s so easy to use, but you can use any type preferred.
The gravy will thicken as it heats. If it doesn’t get as thick as you would like, add 30 seconds to the microwave time. And, if it gets too thick, add a tablespoon of water and whisk together well.
It is really easy to adjust to the consistency desired. Just remember that it will continue to thicken for up to about one minute after cooking.

Notes

Tips & Suggestions:

I have included step-by-step photos and directions above to ensure your first attempt will be successful.

Gluten-free- To make it gluten-free, use tamari instead of soy sauce and choose cornstarch or arrowroot as your thickening agent instead of flour.

Serving Suggestions- This gravy is perfect for drizzling over my vegan mashed potatoes, these roasted oil-free veggies, or your favorite holiday dishes like my vegan roast. We have a delicious crispy baked tofu main dish that this gravy was originally created for.

Storage- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. You can also freeze it for up to 3 months; just reheat it gently on the stovetop when ready to use.
