Pineapple Teriyaki Sauce | Paleo, Whole30

Servings: 4
Calories: 45kcal

Ingredients

  • 1 cup pineapple chopped*
  • 1/3 cup coconut aminos
  • 1/2 tsp dried ginger
  • 1-3 tsp arrowroot starch/flour
  • dash red pepper flakes

Instructions

  • Pulse all of the ingredients in a blender or food processor until smooth (I left mine with a few pieces of pineapple).  Start with 1 tsp of arrowroot, adding more and pulsing again until you reach the level of thickness you like*.
  • Pour the sauce into a small saucepan, and simmer until warm.
  • Serve over shrimp, crispy chicken, or in a stir fry!

Notes

  • Use fresh or frozen pineapple (just thaw it first).  You could also substitute 8 oz of canned crushed pineapple.
  • Try substituting 1 tsp of fresh grated ginger for the dried ginger for extra flavor.
  • I used 3 tsp of arrowroot starch, which gave me a thick almost glaze-like consistency.  Start with less and add more as you go to see what you prefer!
