Ingredients

1 cup ketchup (9.7oz / 275g)
3 tbsp maple syrup (or coconut sugar)
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
2 tbsp tamari
1 tbsp sweet white miso
1 tsp dijon mustard
1 1/2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp ground pepper
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp chili flakes (optional for heat)

Instructions

Add all the ingredients to a large saucepan and whisk to combine.
Warm the sauce over medium heat and once bubbling, reduce the heat to low and simmer, whisking occasionally. Simmer the sauce until it thickened into a pourable paste, 8 minutes. Be sure to covering the pan with a lid slightly ajar to stop splattering.
Taste and adjust the seasonings if desired. Add more maple / coconut sugar for sweetness, vinegar for acidity to balance the sweetness, paprika for smokiness. Option to add a pinch of chili flakes if you like the heat.
Allow to cool slightly, then transfer to a sealable glass jar until ready to use.

Notes

BBQ sauce will keep in the fridge for up to 1 week.

BBQ sauce can also be frozen. Store in a freezer safe container. Let thaw completely before using.
