Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
Directions
Step 1
In a small saucepan, combine the maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, soy sauce (or tamari), garlic powder, and onion powder.
Step 2
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the mixture until it is well combined and begins to heat up, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with the water until thoroughly dissolved to create a slurry.
Step 4
Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the saucepan while stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
Step 5
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and continue stirring until the sauce thickens, about 1-2 minutes.
Step 6
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the sauce cool slightly. The sauce will thicken further as it cools.
Step 7
Serve warm or at room temperature as a dipping sauce, drizzle, or marinade. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
