Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Low-sodium baked beans
- 4 slices Whole grain bread
- 2 teaspoons Low-fat margarine
- 1 tablespoon Tomato paste
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Begin by gathering all the ingredients and ensuring your kitchen workspace is clean and organized.
Open the can of low-sodium baked beans, and pour them into a small saucepan. Place the saucepan over medium heat.
Add the tomato paste, smoked paprika, black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder to the saucepan with the beans. Stir everything together to ensure the spices are well distributed.
Allow the beans to simmer on medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. This will blend the flavors and slightly thicken the beans.
While the beans are simmering, toast the slices of whole grain bread to your preference using a toaster or an oven grill.
Once toasted, spread a teaspoon of low-fat margarine evenly on each slice of toast.
When the beans are ready, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, then remove from heat.
Place two slices of margarine-spread toast on each serving plate, and evenly spoon the hot beans over the top of the toast.
Garnish the beans on toast with chopped fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice for added freshness and brightness.
Serve immediately while hot, and enjoy your low-fat classic beans on toast!
