Vegan onion gravy is easy to make from scratch in about 30 minutes with only six ingredients: onions, olive oil, vegetable broth, tamari, dried thyme, and cornstarch, plus salt and pepper. Try it on mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, and your favorite comfort foods.
For my family, it simply isn't Thanksgiving without creamy vegan olive oil mashed potatoes and plant-based gravy.
Inspired by my recipe for vegan mushroom gravy, this version is loaded with savory flavor while requiring minimal time and ingredients. You can also make it in advance and reheat it so holiday prep is less stressful.

How to make vegan onion gravy
- In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the vegetable broth, tamari, and cornstarch. Set aside while the onions cook.
- Saute the onions in olive oil over low heat until very tender and lightly golden.
- Stir in the thyme.
- Whisk the broth mixture again, then slowly add it to the onions. Cook, stirring often, until the gravy thickens. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Serve right away or refrigerate or freeze for later.
Serving suggestions
If you prefer a smoother gravy without onion pieces, blend part or all of it with an immersion blender, or carefully transfer it to a regular blender and blend until smooth.
In the above photo, vegan onion gravy is served with Instant Pot vegan mashed potatoes, tofu meatballs, and roasted butternut squash and Brussels sprouts. It's delicious with comforting classics.
