I have been making this gravy recipe for years…it never occurred to me that people think they need roasted meat in order to make a gravy. I feel I owe you all an apology because this is something I should have posted to my blog ages ago.

Gravy doesn’t have to be hard, take a lot of time, etc. With just a few simple ingredients and some whisking, you can enjoy gluten free gravy anytime!

Fresh Herbs

One of the stars of my gluten free gravy recipe is fresh herbs. They add so much flavor and depth to your gravy recipe. If you love cooking with herbs as well, you can grow fresh herbs indoors in your kitchen window. This way you can just snip what you need when you need it!

If you would like more ideas of ways to use fresh herbs in your kitchen, here are my favorite ways to cook with fresh herbs.

For this gravy recipe, I used:

• Thyme
• Rosemary
• Sage

Pour this flavorful gravy on this Air Fryer Turkey Breast for a deliciously easy dinner.

Shopping List for Gluten Free Gravy:

• Beef, chicken, turkey, or vegetable stock
• Fresh herbs
• Garlic 
• Olive oil
• Tapioca or potato starch.
• Salt and pepper

How to make gluten free gravy:

In a small pot, add olive oil and garlic. Cook on medium-low heat for 3 minutes then add the broth, spices, and fresh herbs. Bring to a boil, then turn down the heat to low to simmer. 

Simmer for 15 minutes then very slowly whisk in the tapioca starch or potato starch a tiny bit at a time. Cook 5 more minutes and enjoy!

Can I use pan scrapings in this gravy recipe?

If you have pan scrapings from cooking or roasting meat DEFINITELY use them in this recipe…the gravy will be even better! To use your pan scrapings, scrape up as much as you can from the roasting pan and add to the gravy while it is simmering.

How do you prevent lumps in gravy?

Lumps in your gravy is one of the biggest challenges to making homemade gravy. When adding your starch to thicken your gravy, add only a tiny bit at a time while whisking.

How do I get the lumps out of my gravy?

Lumps in your gravy are not the end of the world. I like to use this mesh strainer. Pour the gravy through this strainer and it will not only remove the lumps caused by starch thickeners, but it will take out the large chunks of cooked herbs as well.

Can this gravy be made vegan?

You can easily make this gluten free gravy vegan by using vegetable broth.

Can I make this gravy with chicken broth?

You can use any type of broth in this gravy recipe.
