This Easy Vegan Gravy is a must have holiday classic. This delicious yet simple gravy pairs well with my Roasted Garlic & Herb Mashed Potatoes and with a Vegan Holiday Roast. To make this gravy simply combine the vegetable broth, soy sauce, fresh herbs, onion, and garlic. Simmer until thickened. Remove herbs, onions, and garlic with a slotted spoon and then the gravy is ready to be served! It comes together within about 15 minutes and is full of flavor!
There is not much to the gravy that was on the thanksgiving table before going vegan. It’s usually turkey juice (not a good way to word that unfortunately), butter, broth, flour, and seasonings. That’s basically what I did here but minus the turkey juice (again, I’m sorry). Making a vegan gravy is so simple and tastes just as delicious and flavorful. Put this all over your mashed potatoes, vegan holiday roast, and roasted vegetables! Even non-vegans will love this.

How To Make The Best Easy Vegan Gravy
The greatest thing about this recipe is how quick and easy it is but without lacking flavor. Don’t skip those fresh herbs. I’m a big big big fan of dried herbs but in this case, it’s not gonna work out. You want the flavor of the herbs and that’s only going to happen if you simmer the fresh herbs in the broth with the onion and garlic.
