How to Make Roasted Onion Gravy

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Peel and roughly chop 2 large yellow onions.
  3. Toss the onions with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet.
  4. Roast the onions for 30-40 minutes, or until deeply caramelized and golden brown, stirring halfway through.
  5. While the onions are roasting, prepare your stock (about 2 cups of chicken or vegetable stock).
  6. Once the onions are roasted, transfer them to a bowl, leaving the flavorful bits in the baking sheet.
  7. Add 1/2 cup of stock to the baking sheet, scraping up the browned bits with a wooden spoon or spatula.
  8. In a saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
  9. Add 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour to the melted butter and whisk constantly to create a roux.
  10. Gradually whisk in the remaining stock (1 1/2 cups), ensuring no lumps form.
  11. Add the roasted onions and the stock from the baking sheet to the saucepan.
  12. Stir in 1 teaspoon of dried herbs (thyme or rosemary recommended).
  13. Simmer the gravy for 10-15 minutes, or until thickened to your desired consistency.
  14. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  15. Serve immediately and enjoy!
