Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, soy sauce (or tamari), garlic powder, and onion powder.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the mixture until it is well combined and begins to heat up, about 2-3 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with the water until thoroughly dissolved to create a slurry.
Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the saucepan while stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and continue stirring until the sauce thickens, about 1-2 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the sauce cool slightly. The sauce will thicken further as it cools.
Serve warm or at room temperature as a dipping sauce, drizzle, or marinade. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
