This low calorie barbecue sauce is a rich, tangy, and satisfying alternative to sugary store-bought BBQ sauces. With only 30 calories per serving, it’s perfect for grilled meats, veggies, or healthy meal prep.
Ingredients
6 oz Tomato Paste
2 tablespoons Apple Cider Vinegar or white vinegar
4 tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce (Annie’s vegan version)
½ cup Water
½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
1 tablespoon Coconut Sugar (or sweetener of choice)
Instructions
1. Heat a small saucepan over medium heat.
2. Add all ingredients to the saucepan and stir well to combine.
3. Bring the mixture to a light bubble, then reduce the heat to low.
4. Simmer uncovered for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. Remove from heat, let cool, and transfer to a clean glass jar.
6. Store in the refrigerator for up to 10–14 days. Use as desired.
Notes
For added heat, stir in chipotle powder or hot sauce.
For a smokier profile, add a drop of liquid smoke.
Use tamari instead of Worcestershire for a gluten-free version.
