Chef's note
Swap the unsalted butter with your favorite dairy-free butter substitute to turn this into a dairy-free gravy. Our favorite is Miyokos Plant-based Butter– it adds a delightful richness to the gravy without compromising the flavor.

How to make Keto Gravy: step-by-step guide
Cooking methods
Preparation steps
- Gather all the fantastic ingredients for this recipe and measure them in their required amounts.
Cooking instructions
- Heat the butter in a 10” or larger cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Whisk in the garlic powder and xanthan gum. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a simmer until thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately or transfer to a lidded container and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- To reheat, place the gravy over medium heat until warm. If the gravy is too thick, add a bit more broth to thin out.
Chef's pro tip
When you're using xanthan gum to get the perfect gravy texture, begin with a little bit—say, half a teaspoon—and whisk it in slowly. This way, your low-carb gravy will be silky smooth without becoming overly thick.

This sounds great! There are 8 servings, I see, but how much is a serving?
Cast Iron Keto says
Unfortunately, that’s not how recipes work. Unlike a packaged food product that is made by a single company, recipes can’t provide reliable serving weights due to the fluctuations in how different people measure and cook. To get a reliable serving size you’ll need to weigh your final dish then divide by the number of servings. You can also simply eyeball 1/8th of the recipe. I hope this helps!
Jesse says
Hi! I love this recipe! But I was wondering what item in the recipe contains sugar? I'd like to eliminate it! That!
Cast Iron Keto says
Hi Jesse, vegetable broth naturally contains sugar from the vegetables. There's no added sugar in any of these ingredients.
Janice Moreno says
You list black pepper but I dont see it listed in the instructions. Is it added after broth?
Cast Iron Keto says
Hi Janice, the recipe has been edited - sorry about that!
