Keto Roasted Tomato Marinara Sauce

Share this with your people!

As summer tomato harvest is at it’s peak, so many options for preserving these beautiful tomatoes came to mind. I decided to create something that I continuously am searching for at the grocery store-an all purpose no added sugar tomato sauce or marinara sauce that I can use on everything!. Keto Roasted Tomato Marinara Sauce is honestly the best, most flavorful sauce recipe that I have tasted. When developing this, I wanted to have flavors that were bold, bright and fantastically fresh. This marinara sauce is perfect for using as pizza sauce, a marinara dip, meat sauces or soups bases. I can’t wait for you to try it.

What are the Fresh Ingredients in this Marinara Sauce?

The freshest of freshest ingredients make up this Keto Roasted Marinara Sauce. You will need the following:

• Fresh tomatoes
• Vidalia or Sweet Onions
• Whole Peeled Garlic
• Fresh Basil, Oregano (can also use dried)
• Salt and Pepper
• Crushed Red Pepper
• Olive Oil-Good Quality-Extra Virgin

How easy is it to make Keto Roasted Tomato Marinara Sauce?

You are not going to believe how easy this recipe is to make. No peeling tomatoes, no cooktop and no canning required. It really on takes 5 simple steps to make this marinara sauce. So grab a few sheet pans, some parchment paper and let’s get started!

• Wash and core the tomatoes. Cut the tomatoes in half and place seed side up on the sheet pans.
• Cut up the onions in chunks (don’t need to be fancy) and evenly distribute the onions, herbs, spices and garlic cloves between all the sheet pans.
• Drizzle olive oil over all the pans of tomatoes, onions and herbs.
• Roast in a 300 degree oven for one hour, then turn oven up to 425 degrees and roast another 20 minutes to get a slight char.
• Let the sheet pans cool then blend the ingredients in a food processor/blender/immersion blender until combined, place in freezer bags and pop in freezer for storing until ready to use!

So, it is really this easy. I have included a recipe card below, however, these are approximate measurements as you can easily adjust this recipe to fit the amounts that you want to make by scaling up or scaling down the ingredients. For this recipe, I ended up with 11 cups of marinara sauce from 3 sheet pans full of tomatoes. I split this 11 cups into 5 baggies of 1 1/2 cups for meat sauce and 6 -1/2 cup baggies for pizza sauce.

What can I make using this Keto Marinara Sauce?

When making this recipe, I had a few things in mind that I wanted to try it with. The first being a pizza sauce to use with my Keto St. Louis Style Pizza. The second thought was using this as a meat sauce in keto ‘spaghetti’ and with meatballs. In my YouTube video you will watch as I used the sauce to make a ‘spaghetti’ using ground beef and Natural Heaven-Spaghetti-Hearts of Palm. If you haven’t tried this pasta substitute you really should, and with the meat sauce it was a dream! This company also makes a lasagna and an angel hair variety and so the lasagna is next on my list!

A few other things that I want to try with the Keto Roasted Tomato Marinara Sauce is Keto mozzarella sticks and I have a Keto breadstick recipe that I am dying to make. I will report back on those soon!

This sauce would also be the perfect soup base for a creamy keto tomato soup paired with a chaffle grilled cheese……really….I could go on and on!

I think this is a recipe that you will love, it’s easy to make and can be used in so many recipes and not one speck of added sugar with a flavor out of this world. Using fresh tomatoes for this recipe is my first choice, but don’t sweat it if you don’t have any, just substitute the fresh tomatoes with a can of good quality whole tomatoes. I will be doing this in the winter months when the fresh tomatoes are no longer in season.

Please leave a comment below if you make this recipe OR if you try the hearts of palm ‘pasta’. I appreciate you checking out this blog!

Stay On the Rise,
