A delightful vegan baked beans recipe with a rich and flavorful sauce, perfect for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
Place the cooked navy beans into an oven-proof baking dish.
Ensure the beans are evenly spread in the dish for consistent baking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the vegetable broth, tomato paste, molasses, soy sauce, dry mustard, cumin, smoked paprika, onion, and garlic. Whisk until well blended.
Mixing the sauce thoroughly ensures all flavors are evenly distributed.
Pour the sauce mixture over the beans in the baking dish. Stir gently to coat the beans evenly.
Stir gently to avoid breaking the beans.
Bake the dish uncovered for 1 hour, checking after 40 minutes to ensure the beans are not drying out. Add a splash of broth if needed.
Cover the dish with foil if the top starts to dry out too much.
Serve the baked beans warm, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
Fresh parsley adds a pop of color and freshness to the dish.
