Smoky Beans on Toast – A Tasty Twist on a Classic
These smoky beans on toast are the ultimate comfort food: quick, easy, and packed with flavour. Served on a thick slice of sourdough, they make a hearty and satisfying meal that’s perfect any time of the day.
Not only is this dish delicious, but it’s also nutritious. High in plant-based protein and low in fat, these beans are a great way to enjoy a wholesome meal without spending hours in the kitchen. Ready in under 30 minutes, it’s ideal for busy days when you want something filling but fuss-free.
The beans are simmered with red pepper in a rich tomato sauce, infused with the smoky warmth of paprika and thyme. A dash of soy sauce, cider vinegar, and a touch of sugar help to balance the flavours, creating a deep, savoury taste that’s both comforting and moreish.
When it comes to serving, you can enjoy these smoky beans on toast just as they are or top them with some (plant-based) cheese for an extra indulgent touch. Personally, I love them without, but the rest of my family insists on cheese—so it’s completely up to you!
This recipe serves four generous portions, making it perfect for a family meal. However you enjoy them, these smoky beans are a simple, tasty, and wholesome twist on a classic.
