Sugar-Free BBQ Sauces

sweetgreen's Take on a Classic Honey BBQ Sauce is Made Without Refined Sugar

— January 22, 2023 — Lifestyle
sweetgreen has just launched its winter menu and it features the brand's tasty take on a classic honey BBQ sauce.

The brand-new BBQ was crafted by two-time world BBQ champion and founder of Chicago’s Lillie’s Q, Chef Charlie McKenna. McKenna's take on a classic honey BBQ sauce is made using clean-label ingredients like honey and date syrup, and is completely free of refined sugars, corn starch and other thickeners, and artificial preservatives. The result is a smokey, tangy, and slightly sweet BBQ sauce that made the perfect pairing for the brand's winter menu. Used in hearty dishes like the BBQ Chicken + Squash Plate and the Roasted BBQ Squash side dish, the new BBQ sauce is a delicious addition to sweetgreen's winter menu.
