Ingredients

• 3 cups cooked white beans (e.g., cannellini or great northern beans)
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 cup pure maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 cup low-sodium vegetable broth
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a medium-sized baking dish and set aside.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, tomato paste, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, vegetable broth, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until combined.

Step 5

Add the cooked white beans to the skillet with the onions and garlic. Pour the sauce mixture over the beans and gently stir to coat.

Step 6

Transfer the bean mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbling and slightly thickened.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm.
