Here's what you need…

  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 yellow onions, chopped
  • 1 (6oz) can tomato paste
  • 1/4 cup tamari (low sodium soy sauce)
  • 4 Tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 Tablespoon mustard
  • 3 (15oz) cans pinto or white beans, drained and rinsed

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a large baking pan with non-stick spray and set aside. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and sauté the garlic and onions until tender. In a large bowl, mix the tomato paste, tamari, maple syrup and mustard until a thick sauce forms. Add the beans and onions and mix until fully incorporated. Spread the beans into prepared pan, cover tightly with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
