In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the tomato paste and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to slightly caramelize the paste.
Reduce the heat to low and add the apple cider vinegar, water, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground mustard, and salt. Stir well to combine.
Add the liquid smoke, black pepper, and granular sweetener. Continue stirring until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
Simmer the sauce on low heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Remove from heat and let the sauce cool slightly before using. It will thicken as it cools.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
