Keto Teriyaki Sauce Recipe - Easy To Make At Home (2024)

This keto teriyaki sauce recipe is life-changing for lovers of Japanese food who want to stay low-carb. It’s sweet, salty, and garlicky – perfect over chicken or beef with zero net carbs.

We use xylitol in this recipe because it doesn’t crystallize like other sweeteners when it cools down. You can replace the xylitol with Swerve or monk fruit but remember it will harden as it cools.

Tips

It is important to note that xylitol is toxic to dogs. Do not share your sugar-free teriyaki sauce with your furry friend.

If your low-carb teriyaki sauce is lumpy (caused by the xanthan gum not dissolving), mix it quickly with your stick blender. Problem solved.
