Chicken and andouille (Jacobs)
I like my roux dark so I keep it in the oven a tad longer
Roux today is equal parts of oven roux and water. I sometimes use chicken stock

Made a gumbo this morning too, but with a traditional roux. Have any tips/directions for an oven roux?

Looks good

Preheat oven to 400 degrees and stir every 15 mins if needed and keep and eye on it. I usually go about an hour.

This last batch I used a glass container and really did not need to stir much.

I use Bobs Red Mill gluten free flour for my roux. It seems to give a better flavor. Stir often and open up kitchen to air. Your smoke alarms will have a hard time.

Any reason you don't use oil after toasting? What's the difference in taste?

little healthier with no oil and I think the flavor is not discernable.

Also, the dry roux is easy to store away and it's so easy the next time around to make the roux.

I don't see anyone posting this and thought it might be helpful to some.

Fascinating. I wonder how it would come out if smoked in a pellet grill or BGE.

On topic, how long did you have the roux in the oven?

I’m confused. You just toasted raw flour in the oven and then added it to trinity and meat and stock without ever adding a fat source?

Wild. I've never seen this before. Thanks for sharing. May give this a try this gumbo season.

Do you follow her ratio of liquid to dry roux? The pictures look a little watery. I prefer my gumbo thickness on the stew side.
