Can you eat gravy on a plant based diet? Traditionally, gravy is made using drippings from the turkey to make, which means it’s not plant based. However, this easy recipe makes the easiest plant-based gravy.
How to Make Plant-Based Gravy
It’s really to make an easy plant-based gravy. There are some really great vegan beef broths on the market. In Canada, PC makes a good one and in the United States (and some places in Canada) you can get better than bouillon vegan beef broth. This recipe can be made with vegetable broth but I don’t recommend it since the vegan beef flavour matches the taste of traditional gravy. The depth of flavor you receive from the vegan beef broth is much richer and deeper than a vegetable broth.
To make plant-based gravy:
Start by heating a saucepan and melting the butter into it on medium heat.
While butter melts create a slurry by mixing a bit of your broth with your potato starch to avoid clumping. Set aside.
When butter is melted add garlic until fragrant (about 1 min)
Mix in the rest of your ingredients except for the slurry. You don’t want to add in the potato starch to early as the continued heat can breakdown the starch and make it not do it’s job.
Whisk frequently until it begins to boil.
Whisk in potato starch slurry and reduce heat to simmer.
Continue to whisk as it begins to thicken.
Serve over your favourite potato recipe!

Kitchen Equipment I used for recipe:
Aesthetically pleasing teal spoon set – a lot of people recently have been asking about my spoon set and I feel like a fraud because everyone thinks it’s some expensive set but it’s super inexpensive and they look amazing!
Super cheap but quality non-stick pan – A good non-stick pan will change your life and it doesn’t have to break the bank. I love this one because it’s made out of granite and is super durable!
