Vegan Creamy Honey Garlic Lemon Pepper Sauce Recipe
This versatile sauce combines the sweet and savory flavors of honey garlic sauce with the tanginess of lemon and the heat of black pepper. Plus, it's made creamy with the addition of heavy cream or sour cream.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup maple syrup (or agave)
- 4 tablespoons soy sauce
- 4 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1/2 cup vegan sour cream (or coconut cream)
- 1 tablespoon of vegan butter
Instructions
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together syrup or agave, soy sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, black pepper, salt, and red pepper flakes (if using).
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the honey garlic lemon pepper sauce mixture and stir to combine.
- Add your cream choice to the saucepan and stir until the sauce is heated through and slightly thickened.
- Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

Notes
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can add a cornstarch slurry (cornstarch mixed with cold water) to the sauce while it's heating up to help thicken it.
- Store the sauce in an air-tight container in the fridge for a few days.
