This quick and easy Paleo Maple Chipotle Ketchup is the perfect dip or topping for so many of your favorites! Serve with burgers, chicken, baked fries, or as a dip for roasted veggies. A low FODMAP version makes it easy to digest. Gluten free, Paleo, Vegan.
My post on Monday about my kids eating personalities got me thinking about ketchup. I’m sorta like “meh” with ketchup. I’ve never especially loved it, and certainly not the way I love my homemade mayo! But, I was thinking about ketchup, and when I think about something like that it usually means a recipe will be coming along soon. And like with most of my recipes, it’s a selfish one. If I’m going to put the time and effort into something it had better be something I’m happy to see sitting in my fridge when it’s all over.
I experimented and consumed so much of this stuff in the process of creating it that I’m surprised I still wanted to eat it once it was done. Since it was for me, I wanted to make it delicious as well as IBS friendly which meant no onion and garlic. A challenge, yes! As you guys might already know I’m kind of a spice wuss, so the “chipotle” part of this adds subtle spice without being overpowering. However, if you’re going for a bit more heat you can easily add a little more Chipotle powder to this.
This week I’ve eaten it with meatloaf (recipe next week!) as a burger topping and a dip for my yuca fries. That reminds me I’ll also have to give you the recipe for the yuca fries I’ve been making – they are awesome!

Recipe Notes
*The addition of onion powder will make this no longer low FODMAP, however, if you can tolerate it, it's a great addition to the recipe!
Was that almost too easy for you? Don’t worry, I’ll give you a meatloaf recipe for next week with plenty of instructions. For now, enjoy your fun Friday and also this recipe!
Are you a ketchup fan? Ever made your own?
Do you like spicy dips or spicy things in general?
What do you have planned for this weekend? IF it doesn’t get snowed out, I have my half marathon this weekend!
Good luck on Sunday… hopefully the weather will cooperate!
Thanks! I’m hoping it’s all cleaned up by Sat night and there’s no last minute cancellation. When I’m set on running I want to run!
I am definitely trying this. I love ketchup but I hate the gross store bought stuff…so much sugar!!
Agree the store stuff is meh, even the organic which tastes the same to me. You can play around with this and make it less sweet pretty easily. Hope you try!
Damn, you beat me to it 😉 I still need to devise my own!
You know I love ketchup…I go through it….quickly 😉
But the last few weeks I have been cheating on my ketchup love and have been pouring BBQ sauce on everything! Haha!
Haha! Get some tomato paste and go to town! I’m sure you’ll come up with an awesome one. I might have to try out a BBQ sauce. Not my favorite but would be great with pulled chicken or pork. Enjoy your weekend 🙂
I am a ketchup fiend so thank you for this recipe! And yes please post the yuca fry recipe because those look so delish!
They were great and tasted like potato fries to me but maybe a bit lighter? Hope you try this 🙂
This is just what I need! I am ketchup OBSESSED. Yes cap’s needed (:
Awesome! Hope you try it out 🙂
I love ketchup and was trying to find a good recipe for it just this past weekend! Definitely going to give this one a try so thank you! Good luck in your race:)
Great, hope you like it! And thank you 🙂
since i am a ketchup FEIN! I need this. Ahhh finally, another low fodmap option
I bet some onion and garlic powder would make this even better but I actually didn’t miss it with the extra spice/smoky flavor. I’ve been wanting to dip everything in it! Also, I did receive the gift card yesterday, thanks!
What a great recipe! My husband really enjoys ketchup but I never buy it. I’ll give this a try soon for sure 🙂 Pinning!
Awesome! Hope you enjoy it!
This is perfect! I love ketchup, but not the store-bought kind with all the corn syrup etc. I could totally make this even here in China!
Wow, this sounds like a really fancy, yummy ketchup. 🙂
