🍕 Low Carb Pizza Sauce Recipe

Everyone loves pizza; that's why it's a staple for many households. I'm pretty sure if most of us had a choice, we'd eat it every other day. And with healthier pizza options out there, it's pretty tempting.

So if you're one of the many people out there who adore pizza, you know the sauce is a crucial part of any pizza. My Keto pizza sauce is on another level, just like my Keto pizza crust. And when I finally combine everything together, my family is beyond excited.

And what excites me is just how easy this sauce is. There is no pre-cooking, just mixing a few key ingredients together in a bowl, and presto, a fantastic low-carb pizza sauce.

This no-cook, sugar-free pizza sauce is also quite versatile. You can use it as a dipping sauce, topping, or toss it with veggies. I particularly enjoy this sauce with air fryer cauliflower bites and steamed veggies.

Skip store-bought jars and whip up your own keto pizza sauce. Trust me; you will not be disappointed.

💭 Top tips for success

Here's s a few tip and tricks to making the best keto pizza sauce;

• If you prefer a thinner sauce, add a little water to the mix. For a thicker sauce, you can either use tomato paste instead of tomato sauce or both. Adding a tablespoon or two of Keto-friendly almond flour is the other option. Combine equal parts of water and flour, then add to sauce.
• Tomato paste typically has 2 net carbs per serving, so you should use it in moderation. If you're on a strict keto diet, I suggest you thin it with water.
• Your sugar-free pizza sauce shouldn't be too thin; otherwise, it will make your pizza crust soggy.
• Parmesan is the star ingredient. It adds a delectable flavor to this Keto pizza sauce, so don't skip it. Out of parmesan? Asiago, Grana Padano, dry Jack, and romano cheese are great alternatives you can use.
• If you like your sauces hot and spicy, add more red pepper flakes.
• Make a big batch of this flavor-packed keto pizza sauce and have it on hand whenever you want to make keto pizza crust, fathead dough, or top your favorite veggies and meats.
• Parmesan is among the saltiest cheeses, so you should refrain from adding more salt to the sauce. But if you happen to overdo the salt, you can downplay the saltiness by adding some sugar-free balsamic vinegar.
• If you want to infuse more flavor into your keto pizza sauce, try adding a small splash of olive oil or more spices and blends like Italian seasoning.

🤔 Pasta Sauce vs. Pizza Sauce

A lot of people often get confused about these two sauces. While sometimes they can be used interchangeably, they're pretty different.

Pizza sauce is basically raw, uncooked - it has that fresh tomato taste. On the other hand, pasta sauce is essentially cooked in a saucepan over low heat to develop a deep flavor. With that said, both are easy to make from scratch.

🧊 Storing and ♨️ Reheating

Leftover sauce can be stored in the fridge or freezer. It can last up to two weeks in the fridge and be frozen in an airtight container or jar for six months. When you're ready to use it, just defrost it in the fridge overnight.

I store my sauce in ziplock sandwich bags, Fill a sandwich bag about half full, seal completely, lay flat on a tray, and freeze. Once frozen, the bags are easy to stack and store. You got me! I make a lot of PIZZA.
