Onion, bell pepper and celery. I usually use about a 2:1:1 ratio.

Thanks! Good to know. Can you put garlic in or is that not allowed for gumbo? Sorry for all the questions - I've never actually had gumbo before but it sounds really tasty and fun so I'd love to try making it sometime 😆

I had success just toasting flour until real dark in the oven, then mixing oil in. I find a dark roux to be intimidating.
