Spicy Beet Ketchup. Vegan. Gluten Free.

If you’ve ever eaten at By Chloe, you’ve had the pleasure of trying beet ketchup. I had never even heard of it prior to eating at Chloe’s restaurant but once taste… and Bill & I were head over heels.

So that’s where the inspiration for this yummy recipe started. I researched several recipes online and this was the final creation. Pretty easy. I also went the spicy route but you can easily omit if you don’t prefer spice. This ketchup is perfect with roasted veggies, especially sweet potatoes! My husband loved it on his vegan burger as well.
