Heat a large oven-safe skillet or pot over medium heat and add the coconut oil.
Once the oil is melted and hot, add the diced onion and cook until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic, diced carrot, and diced celery to the pan, and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes and tomato paste, mixing well to combine with the vegetables.
Add the apple cider vinegar, honey, mustard powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir everything together.
Mix in the cooked white beans and cover with 1 cup of water. Stir to combine all ingredients.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then transfer the skillet or pot to the preheated oven.
Bake in the oven for 45 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the sauce is thickened and the flavors are well combined.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Paleo Baked Beans in Tomato Sauce warm.
