brilliant baked beans

Share now

Our brilliant baked beans are bursting with flavour! Gently cooked with garlic, cumin, smoked paprika and a hint of bay leaf, they’re rich, warming and full of goodness, topped with mini roast jackets. Made with a tasty trio of butterbeans, cannellini and borlotti beans, this colourful dish adds variety to little plates, packing in 9 plant points and contributing to their 5-a-day in the most delicious way.

What do we love about our brilliant baked beans?

The rich tomato-based sauce, combined with onion and carrot, creates a naturally sweet and savoury flavour, gently enhanced with herbs and spices like smoked paprika, cumin, and bay leaf. The mix of beans and potatoes provides a balanced combination of plant-based protein, fibre, and carbohydrates, making it a filling and well-rounded meal option.
