Frequently Asked Questions

Can u eat ketchup on keto?

Ketchup can be eaten on a ketogenic diet. However, sugar is not allowed on a keto diet so reading the ingredients list of your preferred brand of ketchup will help you monitor how much sugar is found in your ketchup.

What is the lowest carb ketchup?

We highly recommend AlternaSweets Sugar Free Ketchup or this homemade ketchup recipe. Both are sugar free and low in carbs.

How much sugar is in regular ketchup?

While the sugar content in sugar free ketchup may be lower than sugar-loaded versions, it’s important to take a look at just how much sugar is actually in regular ketchup. One tablespoon of Heinz Ketchup contains 4 grams of sugar!  

Why is sugar free ketchup good for you?

Sugar-free ketchup is a much healthier option than sugar-packed varieties because it does not contain sugar, but it is important to remember that sugar free ketchup is not entirely sugar-free.

Ingredients for Sugar Free Homemade Ketchup

• 2 pounds ripe tomatoes
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 garlic cloves
• 1/2 onion, diced
• 1/3 cup granulated monk fruit (granulated sugar works the same)
• 1/4 cup red wine vinegar (balsamic vinegar would work too)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

How to Make Sugar Free Ketchup

Step 1: Chop and Sauté

Chop garlic into small pieces. Add them to a saucepan with olive oil over medium heat. Stir until fragrant.

Roughly chop the onion and add it to the saucepan. Stir until translucent.

Chop tomatoes and add them to the saucepan with the rest of the ingredients.

Step 2: Simmer to Reduce

Simmer for 25-30 minutes. At this point, the water from the tomatoes will be reduced. If it remains too watery, simmer for another 5 minutes.

Step 3: Blend It

Blend the sauce until smooth. Adjust salt to taste.

Step 4: Store It

Place the sauce in a jar with a lid. Keep it refrigerated for up to 3 weeks.

Recipe Tips

• For the ketchup to last longer (4-5 weeks), sterilize the jar in boiling water for tenminutes.
• I used 1/2 onion in this recipe as the ketchup is meant to be low-carb. But if that’s not your purpose, one whole onion would work perfectly well.
