Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups cooked white beans (e.g., cannellini or great northern beans)
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup low-sodium vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a medium-sized baking dish and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, tomato paste, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, vegetable broth, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until combined.
Add the cooked white beans to the skillet with the onions and garlic. Pour the sauce mixture over the beans and gently stir to coat.
Transfer the bean mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbling and slightly thickened.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm.
