Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 2 15-ounce cans canned baked beans
- 1 cup nutritional yeast
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Finely chop the yellow onion and garlic cloves.
In a large oven-safe skillet or pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and cook until it's soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the canned baked beans, including the sauce, into the skillet with the onion and garlic.
Stir in the nutritional yeast, tomato paste, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Mix well to combine all the ingredients thoroughly, ensuring the beans are well coated with the seasoning.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Once simmered, remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the top.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
Bake in the oven for about 15-20 minutes, until the top is slightly browned and the beans are bubbly.
Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm as a main dish or as a side with crusty bread or a salad.
