Low-Carb Spicy Chocolate BBQ Sauce

Step 1Start by making our low-carb ketchup. Peel and crush the garlic.

Step 2Place everything into a saucepan: the ketchup, butter, garlic, coconut aminos, vinegar, smoked salt, cacao powder, paprika, chili powder, Erythritol and stevia. Cover with a lid, cook for 5-10 minutes over a medium heat. When done, take off the heat.
You can adjust the spiciness by using either mild or extra hot chili powder. Coconut aminos is a healthier alternative to soy sauce and is recommended as a healthy substitute on paleo diets. You can use any vinegar you like such as apple cider or white or red wine vinegar or even try making your own fruit vinegar.

Step 3Transfer in a glass jar and keep in the fridge up to a month or preserve for longer (water-bath canning works best).

Step 4Done - it's ready to be served!
