Tips for Making the Best Vegan Herb Gravy:

Use a variety of herbs for a flavorful gravy. Some good options include thyme, rosemary, sage, and parsley.
Fresh herbs are best, but dried herbs can be used in a pinch. If using dried herbs, use about 1/3 of the amount of fresh herbs called for in the recipe.
Sauté the herbs in a little bit of olive oil or vegan butter to release their flavor.
Use a good quality vegetable broth as the base of your gravy. A homemade broth will give the gravy the best flavor, but a store-bought broth can also be used.
If you want a thicker gravy, add a cornstarch or arrowroot slurry. A slurry is a mixture of equal parts cornstarch or arrowroot powder and water. Whisk the slurry into the gravy until it reaches the desired consistency.
Season the gravy to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve the gravy over your favorite vegan dishes, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or seitan.

This vegan herb gravy is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used to add flavor to a variety of dishes. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. So next time you are looking for a flavorful and plant-based gravy, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
