Homemade Candied Ginger (Sugar-Free, Keto)

Step 1

Peel skin off knobs of ginger, then slice into very thin slices, approximately 1/8" thick (0.3 cm).

Step 2

Add slices of ginger to a pot with water. Bring to a boil and boil until ginger is soft (approximately 30 minutes).

Step 3

Drain all the water except for 1/4 cup. Add ginger, remaining water and sweetener to a pan, and turn to medium heat. Simmer until all water is absorbed.

Step 4

Remove from heat and place ginger onto a cookie rack or sheet to dry. Sprinkle with additional sweetener, if desired. Once fully dry, move candied ginger to an air-tight container. Store at room temperature for up to a week.

Step 5

NOTE: If your house is humid, the ginger may not dry completely. If this happens, I recommend putting in a dehydrator, or an oven at a low temperature until fully dried.
