This Whole30 ketchup recipe is made with only a few ingredients, no dates, and requires no blending. It’s perfect on everything and in so many other sauces! This Whole30 ketchup is a total must, and you’ll want to keep a jar of this paleo condiment on hand at all times.
This is no regular Whole30 ketchup.
No, this is the Whole30 ketchup of hope. Of Promise.
This Whole30 ketchup recipe means bang bang shrimp and In N Out animal style-inspired burgers and meatloaf. This Whole30 ketchup recipe makes all of those other recipes possible.
And you know what else about this Whole30 ketchup recipe? No dates, sister. No dates, no blending, nada. In fact, I’m sort of anti-dates in a Whole30. For me, they’re total candy, and I found myself noshing on them in the early days of my last round, clearly just staving off that sugar dragon in the laziest of ways. Oh, and speaking of lazy? I’m anti-dates in a sauce because, lazy. Dates in sauces mean blending, more dishes, more hand-washing (Uh, dates are sticky), more just more.
So this Whole30 ketchup recipe is sweetened a different way–my favorite way, in fact! With the almighty coconut aminos.
What makes this recipe so good
- It tastes just like “regular” ketchup but is free of added sugars and Whole30 compliant.
- This Whole30 ketchup recipe includes no dates, meaning no blending!
- It comes together super easily and keeps in the fridge for a long time.
The thing about coconut aminos is that they’re sweet! They’re sort of salty, but not very. I never entirely replace salt with coconut aminos, but I absolutely love using them to give a recipe a natural sweetness and depth of flavor.
And they’re absolutely perfect in this Whole30 ketchup recipe. It works like this: stir some stuff together, let it simmer, and… you’re done. Easy, easy, easy.
Variations
- Stir in a bit of my Whole30 sriracha recipe for a spicy take on this Whole30 ketchup.
- Blend the whole batch with a couple of cloves of garlic for a delicious, garlicky ketchup.
- Whisk in about 1/2-1 cup of my Whole30 mayo for an awesome and easy creamy dip.
Can you eat ketchup on Whole30?
Yes! And also no. You can have compliant ketchup, like this Whole30 ketchup recipe, or a store-bought version like Tessemae’s. If your ketchup has any type of sugar listed in the ingredients, it’s not compliant. You can check out my Whole30 food list here to make sure you’re avoiding even the sneakiest of sugars!
Which coconut aminos should I buy?
My very favorite coconut aminos are from Big Tree Farms. They’re affordable and super delicious, thick, and rich. I have a bottle in the fridge at all times and a bottle in the pantry as a backup. I don’t play around with coconut aminos, y’all. They’re key in my Whole30 egg roll in a bowl recipe and my Whole30 lettuce wraps, too.
Can I skip the coconut aminos?
No! Please don’t. The coconut aminos give this Whole30 ketchup its sweetness and richness, and you’d be missing a lot of both without it.
How to Make It
Stir together all ingredients in a medium saucepan over low heat; whisk well.
Simmer until a bit reduced and thickened, about 20 minutes. Salt to taste.

Can I use whole canned tomatoes blended up instead of tomato sauce? Or are there other alternatives or a recipe you recommend for this sauce?
Can I blend a can of whole tomatoes instead of using a can of tomato sauce? Or do you have any recipes to substitute that ingredient?
You could definitely blend a can of whole tomatoes! Just measure it out to make sure it meets the 8 ounce measurement in the ingredients list. Be sure to let us know if you try it! 😊
How long will this last in the refrigerator?
Up to 4 weeks!
Could you please do ingredients list in grams or cups please. I have no idea what a 6or 8 oz can is here in the Uk and not available. Tomato paste comes in a tube.
Apologies, Vikki! The 8-ounce can of tomato sauce is roughly 226 grams. The 6-ounce can of tomato paste is roughly 170 grams.
Thank you so much I did make it before but I don’t think I got the quantities right it was still nice tho lol off to do it properly ☺️
I’m making this for the first time right now. I think if I make it again I’d use 4 tbs of coconut amino instead of 5. Easy recipe to make and I’ve really been missing my catsup!
So glad you enjoy it, Sarah! Thanks for sharing! 😊
Love this so much. It is surprisingly easy and the taste is amazing! I’d never have guessed it was sugar-free. Thanks for the amazing recipe! I’ve made this three times already.
So glad you love it! 😊
I LOVE this recipe! (I do have a confession though, and that is that I never cared much for “real” ketchup.) This stuff is the bomb. Amazing on meatloaf.
So glad you love it, Brooke! I agree- it’s so much better than “real” ketchup!
I love this recipe! Simple and delicious! Am I able to can this?
That’s a great question, Emilie, but unfortunately I don’t know the answer! No one on our team really has experience with the dos and don’ts of canning so that’s not something we test with our recipes. Maybe someone who cans things regularly will see this comment though and be able to weigh in!
Holy ketchup! This turned out soooo delicious. Even after Whole30 I don’t think I’ll ever buy ketchup again. Thank you!
So glad you love it, Amy!! 🍅 😊
This is one of my favorite recipes of yours! I much prefer this then the store bought sugar-free brand. I could drink this (but I won’t haha) and it’s SO easy to make. Thank you!
Haha thank you so much, Annie!
