Keto-friendly sauces, dips, and dressings are some of my favorite recipes to make. They allow me to play around with different fresh herbs and flavor profiles. Not only are sauces made from scratch a lot healthier for you, but the homemade versions are significantly lower in carbs—not to mention that you get to skip all the nasty, unnecessary additives. This low-carb marinara sauce is perfect to make a large batch of and freeze in individual smaller portions. You can even freeze it in ice cube trays for individual portions.
