How to Make Keto Arby’s Copycat Sauce

Place all of the ingredients except the xanthan gum together in a mixing bowl. Whisk to combine.

Pour the mixture into a saucepan and heat over medium heat. Bring to a light boil for 10 minutes.

Reduce the heat and whisk in the xanthan gum until the mixture thickens.

Remove from the heat and allow to cool. Don’t worry – the mixture will thicken more as it cools.

Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge.

What is Keto Arby’s Sauce?

Have you ever wondered what Arby’s sauce is? You are not alone. It’s not quite ketchup, but it’s also not exactly a dressing or dipping sauce either.

When asked, many people characterize it as BBQ sauce, although Arby’s Sauce is a bit different than that. This tomato-based sauce is closer to ketchup but with a dash of sweetness and tang. Many people refer to it as “ketchup with a kick”.

This sauce is really great when paired with red meat. That is because the flavorful combination of onion, garlic, cayenne pepper, and Worcestershire sauce come together to accent red meat in a delicious way. There is a reason that this sauce pairs so well with those famous roast beef sandwiches.

What is Arby’s Ketchup?

Many people assume that all sauces at Arby’s are unique. They aren’t. Arby’s ketchup is just regular ketchup, which is not keto friendly. If you are looking for a keto friendly ketchup recipe, I have one you can try here.

Having flavorful condiments on hand is important to me as doing so will help you to avoid splurging on high carb, sugar filled store bought condiments that will put you way over on your carb count.

Trust me, that carb splurge is just not worth it when you can make delicious versions yourself.

Which Arby’s Menu Items Work for the Keto Diet?

Like most fast food restaurants, Arby’s does not offer much in the way of keto friendly menu items. There are menu items though that you can create at home to make them work for your keto lifestyle.

If you have an Arby’s favorite, chances are, you can enjoy your favorite, you just need to tweak it to fit into a keto diet.

While they do have some items such as salad on the menu, your best bet is to simply make what you want at home! With the exception of the fries, you can likely find a recipe for a keto version that you can make yourself and enjoy guilt free.

One example of a way to tweak a popular Arby’s menu item is for the always popular roast beef sandwich. You can make the roast beef at home, skip the bun and top it with your delicious keto Arby’s sauce. Or, you can use a keto friendly bun! Hello, deliciousness!
