Keto Chipotle Jalapeno Ketchup

This keto chipotle jalapeno ketchup is amazingly delicious! It will provide the perfect spicy kick every time you serve it!

I love making my own low carb condiments, and this keto chipotle jalapeno ketchup is one of my favorites! We start with fresh tomatoes and onions, then add both jalapeno and chipotle peppers along with an amazingly flavorful spice mixture to make this ketchup. Another great thing about this ketchup is that you can also easily adjust the heat level to suit your personal taste preference.

Let’s talk about our tomatoes, onions, garlic, and peppers!

For tomatoes, I used a combination of Roma and vine ripened tomatoes. I’ve found this combination helps to create the perfect ketchup consistency. Roma tomatoes, also called plum tomatoes, give our ketchup sweetness and they cook down nicely which helps to thicken our ketchup. The vine ripened tomatoes add juiciness and amazing flavor. I used a yellow onion to make this ketchup, but alternately you could use a white onion. I added four garlic cloves, but you can add even more if you’d like. We then add both chipotle peppers in adobo sauce and a jalapeno pepper. If you’d like a milder ketchup, you can decrease the amount of peppers you use. Also, since the majority of heat from jalapenos is found in their seeds and membranes, you can choose to add or omit these. For an even hotter ketchup, you can add another jalapeno or more chipotle peppers.

What other ingredients go into this keto chipotle jalapeno ketchup?

To our tomatoes, onions, garlic, and peppers, we add vinegar, broth, and tamari. When making ketchup, I’ve experimented with different vinegar types and with different broths, and I prefer distilled white vinegar and vegetable broth. If you’d like to play around with ingredients, you could try using apple cider vinegar or could use beef or chicken broth to make your ketchup. For a little sweetness and to balance out our flavors, we add a little keto sugar. I used the Swerve brand as it contains zero calories and zero net carbs. It’s also amazingly similar in its sweetness level to regular sugar. You can give your ketchup a taste and add even more sugar if you’d like a sweeter ketchup. For seasoning, we add celery salt, garlic powder, ground mustard, salt, smoked paprika, and a touch of ground cloves and ground nutmeg.

What are some ways I can serve this keto chipotle jalapeno ketchup?

You have some great low carb options for serving this ketchup! It’s a perfect condiment for burgers, brats, and sausages. You can also serve it as a topping for keto sandwiches and lettuce wraps or alongside most any grilled meat. It pairs nicely with roasts, steaks, and seafood mains, and is an amazing choice to top keto meatloaf or to serve with keto meatballs. I love making homemade cocktail sauce and this ketchup would give it a nice addition of heat. This ketchup would also make an awesome dipping sauce for keto chicken nuggets! You can also use this ketchup in any dressing, glaze, or sauce which calls for ketchup as an ingredient. Another great choice is to serve this ketchup with all kinds of egg dishes!
