Instructions
For the Vegan Roast
Preheat oven to 450° Fahrenheit. Chop vegetables into bite-size pieces. Drain the corn.
On a large sheet pan, spread the chopped veggies, frozen meatballs, frozen peas, and corn kernels evenly. Bake for 30-40 minutes.
For the Vegan Gravy
Melt vegan butter in a skillet and whisk in flour. Cook for 2-3 minutes (do not brown).
Dissolve the vegan bouillon in water, then gradually whisk it into the flour/butter mixture. Add herbs if using, then cook at medium-low heat until thickened. Taste it to see if more salt or pepper is needed.
Notes
The gravy may be frozen for later use. When using thawed gravy, the texture will be lumpy at first. Microwave or warm it on the stove until it's hot, then add a bit more water and blend it to make it smooth again. You can use 2 cups of vegetable broth instead of vegetable bouillon and water.
