Traditional barbecue sauce varies from region to region. Most recipes include tomato paste, vinegar, or mayonnaise. Some recipes include a combination of the three. In addition to a tomato paste, vinegar, or mayonnaise base, barbecue sauces rely on a blend of spices to flavor them.
Common spices found in BBQ sauce include garlic, onion powder, mustard, liquid smoke and black pepper. There’s also a lot of sugar. You’ll find white or brown sugar, coconut sugar, honey, molasses, maple syrup, and jams in nearly every bbq sauce recipe. None of these ingredients are low carb or keto friendly.
Spicy & Tangy Keto Bbq Sauce Recipe [1.7 Net Carbs Per Serving]
This bold and tangy keto BBQ sauce is a cross between the tomato paste and vinegar barbecue sauces popular in western North Carolina and the bolder, thicker Kansas City style. Unlike either of these styles, my barbecue sauce recipe has no added sugar – except what’s naturally in the tomato, onion, and garlic.
ANSWER: Use a natural low carb sweetener like erythritol, xylitol, stevia, monk fruit or a combination of any of the above. Many commercial barbecue sauces use liquid Sucralose to sweeten their products. If that’s okay with you, look for EZ-Sweetz liquid drops, but avoid aspartame which changes chemical composition when it heats up and loses sweetness.
I use a low carb erythritol/stevia based sweetener. Erythritol has zero calories. The body doesn’t process it so it leaves the body in the same chemical composition as it arrived. This means it contributes zero carbs to your dietary intake.

You probably have the ingredients for this keto BBQ sauce in your pantry and spice cabinet. Tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, red wine vinegar, brown sugar substitute, onion and garlic compose the base flavors of the sauce. Worcestershire sauce, ground chipotle pepper, dried thyme, clove, liquid smoke (hickory) and lots of black pepper provide a smokey/peppery flavor and a mild heat.
Finishing the bbq sauce with butter rounds out the flavor by mellowing the vinegar and helps the sauce spread across the surface of the meat. To apply, use a dedicated barbecue basting brush so you don’t ruin your pastry brushes!

My favorite brown sugar substitute is SUKRIN GOLD. Don’t have it? Try Swerve Brown Sugar, Lakanto Golden or my homemade low carb brown sugar recipe.
For convenience, make this barbecue sauce ahead and store it in an airtight container in the fridge. Just be sure it’s cooled to room temperature before doing so. The flavor mellows after refrigeration so taste to adjust the seasonings if needed.
