Deep, savory, and rich with a nutty roux color that says slow-cooked comfort, this gravy comes together in one saucepan in under fifteen minutes. Vegetable broth builds the base, while onion powder, garlic powder, and a hit of smoked paprika round out the flavor with real depth. A touch of nutritional yeast adds a subtle savory backbone, and a few dashes of umami-rich seasoning give it that classic, glossy brown-gravy character. It simmers down until it's thick enough to coat the back of a spoon and hold a clean line when you run a finger through it — exactly the texture you want draped over potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a holiday plate. This one's a smart pick for a gluten free table, ladled on warm and finished with a pinch of salt right before serving.

Add the flour all at once and whisk constantly for 2–3 minutes, until the roux turns a deep golden-brown color and smells nutty — watch closely, as it can darken quickly.
