Ingredients

• 3 cups canned navy beans
• 0.5 cup ketchup
• 0.25 cup light brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
• 2 tablespoons molasses
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 cup water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Drain and rinse the navy beans under cold water to remove any excess sodium.

Step 3

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the ketchup, light brown sugar, yellow mustard, molasses, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and water. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well blended.

Step 4

Add the rinsed navy beans to the bowl and gently stir until the beans are evenly coated in the sauce.

Step 5

Transfer the beans and sauce mixture to an oven-safe baking dish and spread it out evenly.

Step 6

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil to prevent the top from drying out while baking.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes to allow the top to slightly caramelize.

Step 8

Remove the baked beans from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.

Step 9

Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy on their own with a slice of crusty bread.
