Keto Sweet Chili Sauce

This low carb sauce recipe is packed with sweet and savory flavors with a hit of chili heat. Our Keto-friendly sauce is prepared with apple cider vinegar, low carb maple-flavored syrup, tamari sauce, fiery dried chili flakes, aromatic garlic, warming ginger, and a hint of xanthan gum. This simple yet tasty sauce is perfect for drizzling over meats and vegetables or as a low carb dipping sauce.

Do I Need to Use Xanthan Gum?

We have added a teaspoon of xanthan gum to our sweet chili Keto sauce. Xanthan gum is a great gluten free, low carb thickening agent, perfect for adding thickness to soups, stews, and desserts. The xanthan gum is a crucial ingredient as it transforms the thin spicy liquid into a thick, glossy and almost syrupy sauce.

Can I Use A Different Sweetener?

We have used a low carb maple-flavored syrup for our sweet chili dip recipe. You can use an alternative low carb syrup or a powdered Keto sweetener if preferred. You can add more or less of the sweetener according to personal tastes. Please be sure to adjust your macros to account for any changes made to the original recipe.

10 min

  • Step 1

    Add the vinegar, tamari, water and low carb syrup to a small saucepan. Crush the garlic and add to the pan. Grate the ginger and add to the pan along with the chili flakes. The chili flakes will be very spicy so add more or less to suit your tastes. You may also add more or less sweetener as preferred.
    Step 1
  • Step 2

    Set the saucepan over a medium/high heat. Bring the mixture up to a boil. Stir well to mix the seasonings and let the mixture bubble for a minute. Reduce the sauce to a simmer and sprinkle over the xanthan gum.
    Step 2
  • Step 3

    Whisk the gum immediately into the sauce. Continue simmering until the gum is completely dissolved and the sauce is beginning to thicken. Remove from the heat to cool. The sauce will thicken further on standing.
