There’s ketchup and then there’s Sugar Free Beetroot Ketchup! If you love beetroots you are going to love this recipe!
If you love dunking chips in ketchup you are going to love this recipe! And if you would like to be in charge of the sugar content in your food then this is definitely for you! Shop bought ketchup is full of added sugar where as this has just a little coconut sugar which you can reduce to your preferred taste.
I tend not to use white sugar anymore since it contains no nutrients whatsoever and even steals your nutrients in order to be digestible. A “food” which doesn’t provide you any nutrients but steals yours! Huh? Coconut sugar or syrups such as maple, date, rice or agave on the other hand will give a little sweetness without stealing your nutrients.
You could also sub the coconut sugar for sweetener if you prefer or just leave it out! Thats the beauty of making your own condiments you are in charge or exactly what goes into them.
This beetroot ketchup comes together very quickly and easily, most of the time is taken roasting your veggies in the first place then its just a 20 minute simmer and blend before you’re dipping your chips into this pink deliciousness.
Its not just good on chips though, I have been spreading it on wraps with hummus, veggies and micro greens. Its a great addition to burgers and sandwiches of any kind. Definately adds the mmmmm factor.
