Being a vegetarian doesn’t mean that I don’t enjoy Thanksgiving (contrary to what some people may assume.) In fact, I’ve never loved Thanksgiving more than I do now!
This is my first year hosting my own (little) Thanksgiving and I am going all out!
I have spent the last few weekends recipe testing (last weekend we made cranberry sauce, vegan mashed potatoes, stuffing, this gravy, and pumpkin pies.)
This weekend I’m making a green bean casserole, sweet potato casserole, buttery corn, and pecan pie!
No Thanksgiving table is complete without gravy and this vegetarian gravy is the BEST gravy that I have ever made or tasted.
It is full of rich, creamy flavor and is delicious drizzled or by the spoonful (if you’re one of those people: spoiler alert I totally am! #noshame).
I never was one much for gravy before I started making it myself.
A good gravy is an absolute necessity at Thanksgiving, so I don’t settle for anything less than amazing.
This gravy definitely delivered!
Make this for your Thanksgiving table this year and watch as everyone fights over it (meat eaters included.)
Be sure to also check out my vegan stuffing recipe!
Added bonus: it’s super easy to make if you want to test it out before the big day. This will be my go to gravy recipe from now on!
