Paleo Worcestershire Sauce | Soy-Free • Gluten-Free Recipe

This homemade Paleo Worcestershire sauce recipe is a healthy twist on the classic pantry staple—and surprisingly simple to make. 

Traditional Worcestershire sauce contains soy, sugar, molasses and is high in salt. This recipe calls for gluten-free swaps and Paleo-friendly replacements for a cleaner, healthier flavor.

The homemade sauce features three Paleo-friendly ingredients: fish sauce for umami, coconut aminos instead of soy sauce, and coconut sugar for sweetness—plus a few other pantry staples to complete the flavor. You can make this flavorful sauce at home in just minutes.
