Smoky-Sweet

Vegan
Barbecue Sauce Gluten-Free

Barbecue sauce can be one of those polarizing ingredients, espe-
cially if you come from the barbecue belt in the South. This one
is on the sweet side, so if you like a tangier, vinegar-based sauce,
reduce the maple syrup or add some mustard.
Serving Tip: Whether on pork, chicken, or for dipping sweet potato
fries, this sauce is great to have on hand. For especially busy nights,
you can throw some chicken legs or pork chops on the grill and baste
them with this sauce for a quick two-ingredient main dish.
½ cup tomato paste 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
½ cup water ½ teaspoon salt
¼ cup balsamic vinegar ½ teaspoon freshly ground
¼ cup pure maple syrup black pepper
1 tablespoon tamari 1 tablespoon avocado oil
2 garlic cloves, minced

1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the tomato paste, water,
vinegar, maple syrup, tamari, garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper.
2. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and
simmer for 5 minutes or until the sauce is thickened.
3. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the avocado
oil. Cool. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator up
to 1 week.
