Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup canola or grapeseed oil
  • 1/4 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 28- ounce can diced tomatoes
  • 2 Tablespoons chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon maple syrup
  • 1/4-1/2 cup water (as needed for consistency)

Instructions

  • Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium high heat. Whisk in the flour until well combined, about 1 minute.
  • Stir in the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Add water if needed for desired thickness.
  • If you find the sauce too chunky, feel free to use a blender or immersion blender for a smoother finished product.
  • Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 6 months.

Notes

Freezes well. Adjust seasoning per your taste.
