Recipe: Keto Baked Beans

Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 can (15 ounces) black soybeans, drained and rinsed
  • 1/4 cup sugar-free ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon keto-friendly sweetener (such as erythritol or stevia)
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (ensure it’s gluten-free if needed)
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional: Cooked and crumbled bacon for topping

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion becomes translucent and slightly caramelized.
  3. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for an additional minute to enhance the flavors.
  4. Add the drained black soybeans to the skillet and cook for a few minutes, allowing them to absorb some of the flavors.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar-free ketchup, apple cider vinegar, keto-friendly sweetener, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
  6. Pour the sauce mixture over the black soybeans in the skillet, stirring to coat them evenly.
  7. Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe dish and cover it with foil.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the flavors meld together and the beans are heated through.
  9. Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 5-10 minutes to allow the top to slightly caramelize.
  10. Optional: Top with cooked and crumbled bacon before serving.
