Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 ounces Little smokies (keto-friendly, no added sugars)
- 1 cup Sugar-free ketchup
- 0.25 cup Granulated keto-friendly sweetener (e.g., erythritol, monk fruit blend)
- 2 tablespoons Hot sauce (adjust to spice preference)
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce (or coconut aminos for gluten-free option)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
Instructions
1. In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the sugar-free ketchup, granulated keto-friendly sweetener, hot sauce, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce (or coconut aminos), garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika.
2. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sweetener has dissolved and the sauce is well combined (about 3-4 minutes).
3. Add the little smokies to the saucepan and stir to coat them evenly with the sauce.
4. Reduce the heat to low and let the smokies simmer in the sauce for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure they are fully coated and heated through.
5. Once the little smokies are glazed and heated, transfer them to a serving dish. Optionally, garnish with chopped parsley or green onions for a pop of color.
6. Serve warm with toothpicks as a delicious keto-friendly appetizer!
