Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Canned navy beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 medium Onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 cup Tomato sauce (unsweetened)
- 2 tablespoons Molasses
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 cup Low-sodium vegetable broth
- 1 as needed Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a medium-sized oven-safe casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté the diced onion in a splash of vegetable broth (or cooking spray) for 5 minutes, until softened and translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
In a mixing bowl, combine the tomato sauce, molasses, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, chili powder, ground cumin, cayenne pepper, salt, and ground black pepper. Stir until smooth.
Add the drained and rinsed navy beans to the sauce mixture, along with the cooked onions and garlic. Mix everything thoroughly to ensure the beans are well-coated.
Transfer the bean mixture to the prepared casserole dish. Pour the vegetable broth evenly over the top to prevent the beans from drying out during baking.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes to allow the flavors to deepen and the top to caramelize slightly.
Remove from the oven and let the baked beans cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy this flavorful, WW-friendly side dish on its own or as a complement to your favorite meal!
