Nightshade Free Coconut Mayo Fry Sauce
Fry sauce is one of those condiments that makes everything it touches taste better — but the classic version is usually loaded with ketchup, which means tomatoes are an automatic dealbreaker for anyone avoiding nightshades. This version swaps that out entirely, leaning on pumpkin purée for body and a subtle earthy sweetness that pairs beautifully with the creamy coconut-based mayo. A splash of apple cider vinegar keeps things bright and tangy, while maple syrup rounds out the edges without tipping into dessert territory. Turmeric, ginger, and garlic powder layer in just enough warmth and depth to make this feel like a fully developed sauce rather than a simple substitute. The whole thing comes together in one bowl with a whisk — no cooking required — and a short chill in the fridge is all it takes for the flavors to settle into something genuinely craveable. Drizzle it over roasted vegetables, dunk your fries, or spoon it alongside grilled meat for an instant upgrade that nobody will guess is missing a single nightshade.
