Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 15-ounce can canned diced tomatoes
- 2 15-ounce cans canned white beans (such as cannellini or navy beans)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dry mustard powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 4 slices whole grain or gluten-free bread slices
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes or until the onion becomes translucent.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
Stir in the tomato paste and let it cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing it to caramelize slightly.
Add the canned diced tomatoes (including the juice) and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Drain and rinse the white beans, then add them to the skillet.
Stir in the maple syrup, soy sauce, smoked paprika, dry mustard powder, salt, and black pepper.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet with a lid, and let the mixture simmer gently for 20 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure it doesn’t stick to the bottom.
While the beans are simmering, preheat a grill or toaster to toast the bread slices to your desired level of crunchiness.
Once the beans are done cooking, adjust the seasoning if necessary.
To serve, place a slice of toast on each plate, generously spoon the baked beans over each slice, and optionally sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Vegan Baked Beans on Toast!
