Instructions
First, in a medium saucepan, mix tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, water, erythritol, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Next, heat over medium-low, stirring frequently, for 10–15 minutes until flavors meld and sauce thickens. Add more water (1 tablespoon at a time) for a thinner consistency.
Then, taste and adjust salt, sweetener, or cayenne for desired flavor.
Finally, cool slightly and use as a marinade for cauliflower wings, a dip for Healthy Homemade Nachos, or a glaze for grilled meats or veggies.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or freeze for 1 month.
Notes
Use stevia or honey (non-keto), for instance, for different sweetness levels.
Add chili powder or hot sauce, thus, increasing heat.
Try liquid smoke or mustard, for example, for deeper flavor.
Add more water or vinegar, so, ideal for marinades.
