Can I eat Marinara Sauce on Keto?
Even though tomatoes are slightly higher in carbs, if you are using them properly and following the servings, you can perfectly add your Marinara Sauce into a Keto Diet.
Can I use Fresh Tomatoes instead of canned in Marinara Sauce?
Yes, you can certainly use fresh tomatoes instead of canned in this sugar-free tomato sauce, but blanch them and peel the skin if you would like to have that smooth consistency.
On the other side, the skin adds more fiber as well as antioxidants to your meal and if you use an Immersion blender, it should smooth it out fully.

Oil – Avocado Oil instead of Extra Virgin Olive Oil works perfectly as well
Herbs – in case you do not have fresh oregano, you can add any Italian fresh herbs you have available.
