Why This Vegan Baked Beans Recipe is So Good
- They technically aren’t baked in the oven, so this baked bean recipe is extra perfect for hot summer days! Instead of baking, they’re cooked on the stove.
- Tons of flavor goes into this recipe! Tomatoes, onions, lots of garlic, brown sugar, and spices make these beans extra tasty, without any bacon or meat needed.
- Vegan Baked Beans are a crowd-pleasing dish to bring to BBQs and potlucks. Double the recipe if you have a lot of friends to feed!
Tips and Tricks for Making Vegan Baked Beans
- I like to make this recipe with cannellini beans, but you can use any kind of beans you like! Chili beans, kidney beans, butter beans or even black beans will work.
- Use two different kinds of beans if that’s what you have on hand. This is a great recipe for using up pantry staples.
- Transfer the beans to a casserole dish after they’ve simmered for the full “baked beans” experience. They’ll also travel better that way.
