Getting Started

Roast Vegetables First for Depth: When making your own vegan beef broth, roast root vegetables (carrots, onions, celery, mushrooms) at 200°C (400°F) for 30 minutes before simmering. This caramelization deepens umami and color.
Layer Umami: Enhance store-bought vegan beef broth by adding a tablespoon of tomato paste, a dash of soy sauce or tamari, or dried mushrooms to your baking liquid. These elements contribute glutamates for a richer flavor profile.
Control Moisture: Baked vegan dishes can dry out. Ensure adequate liquid, like vegan beef broth, is added to casseroles and braises. Cover dishes with foil for the initial baking time to retain moisture, then uncover to brown.
Thicken Naturally: For gravies or thicker sauces, reduce the broth or use a cornstarch slurry. For a baked stew, incorporate starchy vegetables like potatoes or or a small amount of blended legumes to naturally thicken the broth as it bakes.
