Smoky Vegetarian Baked Beans
Smoky vegetarian baked beans! Adapted from How Sweet Eats.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 1 small white or sweet onion, diced
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon chipotle chili powder, or chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
- 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/3 cup BBQ sauce
- 1/3 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 15-ounce cans white beans, drained and rinsed
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a heat-proof skillet or dutch oven. Add the onion, garlic, and salt, and cook until the vegetables start to become tender, about 8-10 minutes.
- Add in the garlic and the seasonings (paprika, chipotle powder, pepper) and cook another 30 seconds or so, taking care not to burn the garlic.
- Add the rest of the sauce ingredients: apple cider vinegar, BBQ sauce, ketchup, mustard, brown sugar and cook over medium low heat until the mixture starts to thicken, about 8 minutes. Add in the white beans.
- Cover and bake for 15-20 minutes until the beans are hot and the sauce is bubbly!
Notes
This recipe is based off the How Sweet Eats one, which we love! That recipe uses prepared baked beans, but vegetarian ones are harder to find and this way, I can control the added sugar as well.
