Keto Marinara Sauce
This quick and easy low carb marinara sauce is packed with sweet juicy tomatoes and aromatic Mediterranean herbs. The sauce is simple to prepare and ready in no time at all; it just requires a little simmering to reduce. Once made, this versatile Keto sauce can be enjoyed over low carb spaghetti, blended as a pizza sauce, or used as a dip for breaded mozzarella. This is also a great option for anyone following a Paleo diet.
Are Tomatoes Keto?
Tomatoes are one of the higher carb vegetables approved on a Keto diet. When used in moderation, they may be enjoyed as part of a healthy and balanced diet. Our deliciously sweet low carb marinara is packed with flavor and needs only to be used sparingly to enhance your Keto meals.
Can I Blend the Sauce?
We have kept our Keto marinara sauce whole to enjoy the consistency of the low carb vegetables. However, once cooked, you can purée if you wish to create a smooth sauce. Simply cool a little, then transfer to a blender to combine. This is a great option if you wish to use this recipe for a smooth Keto pizza sauce.

This recipe is wonderful. Next time I'll add a dash of cayenne, because that's how I roll. I love that there's no sugar or sugar substitutes in it, as I get plenty of that in other foods. The balsamic adds just the right amount of sweetness and zestiness. And this is so inexpensive compared to the low carb sauces I've found in the stores.
