This deeply savory gravy starts with a classic roux technique, whisked over the stove until it turns a rich, nutty golden-brown before vegetable broth is streamed in to build a silky, lump-free base. Onion powder, garlic powder, and a touch of smoked paprika add warmth and depth, while a spoonful of nutritional yeast rounds out the flavor with a subtle umami boost. A gentle simmer thickens everything into a glossy, spoon-coating gravy that's perfect for draping over mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a holiday plate. The whole process comes together in one saucepan and takes just minutes of active whisking to get that smooth, restaurant-style texture. It's a comforting, pourable finishing touch that fits neatly into a wheat free spread without sacrificing any of that deep, savory flavor you want from a good brown gravy.
