12 Best Keto Sauces & Condiments – Low Carb and Sugar Free Options!
Amplify your meals with these delicious keto sauces and low carb condiments!
Keto sauces make everything tastier!
Whether you’re using them for cooking or dipping, these keto friendly condiments are our favorite complement to any meal. While some are naturally keto and some are sugar-free adaptations, we’re excited to share a few of our team’s favorite low carb sauces!
12 of the best keto sauces to buy:
1. Avocado oil mayonnaise
Oh mayo, how we love you… Low in carbs and high in fats, creamy mayonnaise is one of those essential keto condiments you’ll always want to have on hand!
We also love that the traditional oil is subbed with healthy avocado oil when you opt for the Primal Kitchen brand, and there’s even a chipotle flavor to spice things up! Mix it in with some sugar-free ketchup and you have a super yummy dipping sauce (also called “fry sauce” in some areas).
Our favorite: Primal Kitchen Mayo With Avocado Oil
- Serving size: 1 Tbsp | Calories: 100 | Total Fat: 12g | Total Carbs: 0g (0g fiber, 0g sugar) | Protein: 0g
- Ingredients: Avocado oil, organic eggs, organic egg yolks, organic vinegar, sea salt, organic rosemary extract
Hip recipe suggestion: Keep things light and refreshing with our creamy low-carb coleslaw.
2. Mustard
Mustard is one of those keto friendly condiments that is a little tangy, a little spicy, and adds a whole lot of flavor no matter what you’re adding it to. You can opt for a stone-ground version for a little texture or a classic yellow when you have fussy eaters. Whatever you do, stay away from honey mustard, which contains sugars (or try this sugar-free honey mustard dipping sauce).
Our favorite: Great Value Organic Dijon Mustard
- Serving size: 1 tsp | Calories: 5 | Total Fat: 0g | Total Carbs: 0g (0g fiber, 0g sugar) | Protein: 0g
- Ingredients: Water, organic mustard seeds, organic vinegar, salt, natural flavor, organic turmeric, organic guar gum, organic spices
Hip recipe suggestion: Add some tang in our cauliflower no-potato salad.
3. Unsweetened Ketchup
Do not let the lack of sugar fool you, this no-sugar-added organic ketchup is full of flavor. Most reviewers said they can’t tell the difference between the original sugar-based versions!
Our favorite: Primal Kitchen Organic and Unsweetened Ketchup
- Serving size: 1 Tbsp | Calories: 10 | Total Fat: 0g | Total Carbs: 2g (0g fiber, 1g sugar) | Protein: 0g
- Ingredients: Organic tomato concentrate, organic balsamic vinegar (organic white wine vinegar, organic grape must), less than 2% of salt, organic onion powder, organic garlic powder, organic spices
Hip sidekick, Angie, is also a fan of Heinz No Sugar Added Ketchup which is usually easy to find in stores. You can also use our homemade keto ketchup recipe to make your own ketchup from scratch!
Hip recipe suggestion: This ketchup with a little bit of mayo is the perfect dip for our bacon avocado fries or our rutabaga fries. YUM!
4. Coconut Aminos (Soy Sauce Alternative)
Coconut aminos (a.k.a. gluten-free soy sauce) is a great source of sodium and electrolytes so it’s perfect if you’re experiencing a bit of the keto flu! This is one of the keto friendly sauces that is great for those with gluten allergies or anyone who wants to avoid (even fermented) soy.
Our favorite: Coconut Secret Coconut Aminos
- Serving size: 15 mL | Calories: 15 | Total Fat: 0g | Total Carbs: 4g (0g fiber, 3g sugar) | Protein: 0g
- Ingredients: Organic coconut tree sap and sea salt
Hip recipe suggestion: Make these savory low-carb sesame noodles or try this flavorful egg roll in a bowl recipe.
5. Unsweetened BBQ Sauce
Time to grill! Unsweetened BBQ sauces make chicken, burgers, ribs, and steaks all the more flavorful without a crazy amount of carbs. I even add some to the slow cooker with flank steak, pork loin, and cheap cuts of meat at the end of the cooking cycle for some added flavor. If you’re looking for low carb sauces, this is definitely one to try!
Our favorite: Primal Kitchen Organic and Unsweetened Classic BBQ Sauce AND these 3 low-carb BBQ sauces, too!
- Serving size: 2 Tbsp | Calories: 15 | Total Fat: 0g | Total Carbs: 3g (<1g fiber, 2g sugar) | Protein: 0g
- Ingredients: Water, organic tomato paste, organic balsamic vinegar (wine vinegar, concentrated grape must), organic apple cider vinegar, organic dijon mustard (organic apple cider vinegar, water, organic mustard seed, salt, organic spices), sea salt, organic tapioca starch, organic coriander, organic cumin, organic black pepper, organic onion powder, organic chipotle powder, natural smoke flavor, organic garlic, organic cinnamon, organic garlic powder
Another one of our team favorite keto friendly sauces is Sweet Baby Ray’s No Sugar Added Original BBQ Sauce and while it probably isn’t one the “cleanest” keto condiments, we’re still big fans of the flavor!
This BBQ sauce rocks! We enjoy it on ribs, pulled pork, and chicken. You’d never know it’s keto-friendly! -Lina, Hip recipe creator
Hip Recipe Suggestion: Simmer those BBQ flavors into this pulled pork recipe.
6. Hot Sauce
Made from just vinegar, cayenne peppers, and a touch of seasoning, hot sauce should definitely be a keto pantry staple. It’s one of the keto sauces we don’t get tired of eating! It’s delicious on pretty much everything like cauliflower crust pizza to shake and bake chicken to spicy Buffalo wings.
Our favorite: Frank’s RedHot sauce
- Serving size: 1 tsp | Calories: 0 | Total Fat: 0g | Total Carbs: 0g (0g fiber, 0g sugar) | Protein: 0g
- Ingredients: Aged cayenne red peppers, distilled vinegar, water, salt, and garlic powder
Another team favorite is Sweet Baby Ray’s Buffalo Wing Sauce. It’s got a kick to it, but tastes so good on chicken and other meats!
Hip recipe suggestion: Spice things up with our Buffalo chicken and cauliflower casserole.
7. Sugar-Free Steak Sauce
A1 has got nothing on this stuff! It’s made with natural ingredients and contains no preservatives, so it definitely holds up to clean keto standards.
Our favorite: Primal Kitchen Sugar-Free Steak Sauce
- Serving size: 1 Tbsp | Calories: 10 | Total Fat: 0g | Total Carbs: 2g (0g fiber, 1g sugar) | Protein: 0g

“Primal Kitchen Steak Sauce is my favorite! I use it with pork chops, steak, chicken – all the meat! It is SO good and has such a good flavor, I would prefer it over A1 any day!” – Jessica, Hip sidekick
Hip recipe suggestion: Serve some sauce alongside a perfectly seared steak.
8. Ranch Dressing
When it comes to keto sauces, you’ll have to be a little more diligent in checking labels for salad dressings since the nutritional value can vary – even for the same dressing types! As a rule of thumb, go with keto condiments that have a carb count of 2 carbs or less per serving.
Hip Tip: You can thin ranch slightly by adding a little less than 2 tablespoons of water for easier pouring and greater coverage.

Hip recipe suggestion: Make your own ranch with our dip recipe like Hip sidekick, Jenna does! She puts it on EVERYTHING!
9. Italian Vinaigrette
Most of the time when the word vinaigrette comes around, it usually means there’s added sugar lurking in the ingredients. Luckily this bottle contains just the good stuff, so you can dress and savor your favorite foods without a sugar spike.
