You’ll want to put this delicious & easy Garlicky Whole30 Roasted Red Pepper Sauce on everything. It’s keto and vegan, and has an amazing addicting flavor!
A few years back, I used to live in Northern California in Marin County and my husband and I were obsessed with this restaurant in town, where they served really high quality pasture raised and grass fed meats, cooked to perfection.
One of my favorite dishes on the menu was their pork chops served with roasted red pepper sauce. The sauce was so tangy and wonderful, and it was the perfect combo with the meat. Even my husband, who hates peppers, loved that sauce. I recently started thinking about that meal and decided to recreate that sauce at home, and I’m obsessed with the result!

Can you freeze this sauce?
I wouldn’t recommend it. Since there’s coconut milk in the sauce, it might separate once defrosted and become grainy in texture.
