Low Carb BBQ Sauce

Keto Friendly

It is that time of year again!  Warm weather, school is coming to an end, family get-together’s and of course BBQ’s. Grilling is my favorite way of cooking. During the season I really don’t think I turn the stove on, except for breakfast or rainy days. When I switched to a low carb lifestyle I was nervous that I would have to give up BBQ sauce.  The carb count is SO HIGH!

After examining the labels of every single BBQ sauce in the local stores and pricing low carb options online; I decided to not settle or go broke and make my own.

My recipe is a combination of sweet & smokey with just a hint of spice.  It can be customized easily to fit your favorite flavor profile. See notes below*

Here is how to make our homemade

Low Carb BBQ sauce

Makes about 1 pint. Serving Size about 2 tablespoons.

• 1/4 cup Lakanto Gold brown sugar substitute OR sweetener of your choice
• 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1/4 cup white vinegar
• 1/2 cup water
• 2 tablespoons real butter
• 1 can tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon dry yellow mustard
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
• 1 teaspoon liquid smoke (optional)

Instructions 

In a sauce pan over medium, add sweetener, vinegars and water. Mix until sweetener is dissolved.

Add tomato paste and remaining ingredients. Stir until fully combined. Bring to a boil, reduce to simmer.

Let simmer about 15 minutes to incorporate all ingredients and build flavor.

NOTES*

1. If you like a thinner sauce, add a touch more water until desired thickness is reached.
2. If you like a more sour sauce, add a little more vinegar.
3. Go easy with the liquid smoke, a little goes a long way!
4. This recipe is very easily adaptable to different sweeteners.  Using a white sweetener will result in a sauce that is more red in color.
5. The butter makes a nice glossy finish and helps the sauce adhere to whatever you brush it on.

Store in pint sized mason jar refrigerated for up to 2 weeks.
