Easy Vegan Black Beans
Inspired by black beans I ate on a recent trip to Belize, these black beans are a simple but flavor-packed addition to any meal! The coconut oil adds depth of flavor and texture, while the spices add just the right amount of kick.
Ingredients
- 1 can black beans slightly drained
- 2 Tablespoons coconut oil
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- Dash of salt ~1/8 teaspoon
Instructions
- Slightly drain black beans and pour into small saucepan. Add coconut oil (2 Tbsp), smoked paprika ( ½ tsp), onion powder (¼ tsp), garlic powder (¼ tsp), and a dash of salt (~1/8 teaspoon).
- Cook on medium heat until simmering.
- Once simmering, reduce heat to medium-low and continue to simmer for 10-15 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
- Mash with potato masher or fork until consistency is thick and most beans are smashed to your liking.
- Enjoy immediately with our sweet potato hash, in a tortilla, or with fry jacks if you know how to make those!
