Oh.
Hell.
Yes.
At long last I have cracked the code for making paleo ketchup that doesn’t disappoint. Yup, this one has got it all. The flavor is fantastic and it has a smooth glassy texture just like its high-fructose corn syrup laden cousin. But the best part? It is crazy easy to make. BOODOW!
Ryan Wilder’s Wicked Easy Paleo Ketchup
- About 12oz Tomato Paste (try to find it in BPA-free packaging if possible)
- 1.5 Cup Water
- 2 tbsp Vinegar
- 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1/2 tsp Onion Powder
- 1/4 tsp All Spice
Combine all ingredients in a small sauce pan. Simmer for a few minutes and stir often. Transfer ketchup to a glass container and refrigerate. That’s it.
Give me a shout if you try it out!

Great recipe! Thank you! Truly very easy and the flavor is great. So glad to have ketchup back in my life.
Took the advice and added a dash of cinnamon to it. Really warmed up the flavor profile. I plan on having it tonight with my burgers and roasted cauliflower. Thanks.
Very good! I added some cayenne because I like a little spice!!! yummo!!!
Try it with curry powder too! So flippin’ good.
This is awesome!! Thanks for sharing. I added some sea salt for a little extra. Half we kept as is, the other half I added horseradish to make cocktail sauce! Your recipe has made paleo so much easier for my husband.
Just tried this and it is easy to make and is the best ketchup I have made yet! I tweaked with what I had on hand; finely chopped onions instead of powder, fresh garlic instead of powder, and some tomato sauce to thin it a bit instead of water – just great!
thanks for posting this!!!
Anyone find out what kind of vinegar?
This stuff is amazing!! Thank you so much for this unsweetened treasure!! It has made dieting so much easier for this ketchup loving girl!! Everything tastes better with ketchup!
What type of vinegar?
can’t wait to try it!
Just regular old vinegar. Nothing fancy.
So I had beef pot roast tonight and was really jonesin for tomatoey goodness with it but didn’t want to cave and grab my sugary ketchup that was in the fridge lol
yay for internets and for your post!
Just a quick google query and I found this recipe and set to work… I too added a bit of salt at the end because heinz was my poison of choice before paleo
I tweeted this post too so other people could come enjoy the nommy tomatoey goodness…. oh. yes.
thank you!
I added salt, as per the previous commenter, and felt it still needed a little something, so shook on some cinnamon. Yum!! I’m so glad to find such as simple recipe. Thanks!

how would you do it with tomatoes?
It was so easy compared to other paleo ketchup recipes, took 5 minutes and had all the ingredients in the cupboard. I didn’t have paste, but subbed tomato sauce for paste and water…turned out great! I tried adding a little honey for sweetness and I thought it was good, if you like it sweeter. Thanks so much!
How long is the fridge life?
I’m not sure. The ketchup flows too quickly in my house for it to go bad. I would imagine it would hold up for at least a few weeks.
I made this tonight… it turned out AWESOME!

Wow that quite appetizing. Gona try the recipe, but I don’t think I’ll ahve the patience to make one of these babes every week.
i was worried it id have to go out and buy a bunch of silly little spices and stuff but i already have all the ingredients even before a was a paleo-er! i cant wait to try this! need something for my chicken!
Tastes just like the stuff out of the bottle, but without all the added sugar! I added a pinch of salt to it at the very end, but only because I like my ketchup slightly less sweet.
This recipe definitely works!
Nice! I love the color, too.
Like a boss!
Thanks for sharing! Gotta try it out…
