Hi everyone. So I was wondering, does anyone have any ideas for vegetarian/vegan gravy and whether it is better to make your own or buy a certain brand? I want to make one of those Jurassic Park inspired volcano mashed potatoes that I kept seeing on social media.(This was quite a bit back, but it really intrigued me lol) Anyways it’s easy enough to make mashed potatoes, use broccoli for trees and buy vegetarian ‘chicken ‘ nuggets. My local grocery store sells these veg Dino nugs but am wondering if anyone has had any experience with a store bought vegetarian gravy like a mushroom gravy? Would you mind sharing your thoughts and how it is? Is it easy or time consuming to make your own gravy? Sorry for all the questions but any advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Edit:I really appreciate everyone taking the time to answer this for me with their suggestions! I’m convinced that my best option is to make my own now and I will definitely pick one of the recipes in this post. Also for those who recommend a particular store bought, thank you too. The holidays will be here before we know it and sometimes I really don’t want to make every thing from scratch on Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve and Christmas so I will definitely look into a few of these. I’ve always been content drowning my mashed potatoes in butter but with all these great gravy recommendations I definitely have to try some of these. Mushroom gravy, here I come. 🤤
