Pizza Beans
These Pizza Beans are saucy, cheesy, and baked with white beans, marinara, and pizza toppings for an easy vegetarian meal or snack.
Servings: 1 serving
Ingredients
- 1 (15-ounce) can white beans drained and rinsed
- ½ cup marinara sauce
- ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- Pinch crushed red pepper flakes
- ¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese optional
- 4 to 5 cherry tomatoes halved, optional
- 1 tablespoons chopped green peppers
- 1 tablespoon sliced black olives
- Fresh basil for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Add the drained white beans to a small 5-inch baking dish or skillet. Stir in the marinara sauce, oregano, garlic powder, and crushed red pepper flakes.
- Spread the beans into an even layer. Top with the mozzarella, Parmesan, cherry tomatoes, and olives.
- Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbling and the cheese is melted.
- Broil for 1 to 2 minutes, if desired, until the cheese is lightly golden.
- Finish with fresh basil and serve warm with crusty bread.
Notes
My Top Tip: Drain and rinse the beans well. This helps remove the canned liquid so the pizza beans don’t turn watery in the oven.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or in a 350°F oven until warmed through.
Substitutes: Cannellini beans, Great Northern beans, or navy beans all work well. Use any pizza-style toppings you like, such as chopped mushrooms, spinach, beef pepperoni, or extra peppers.
Serving Note: Nutrition does not include crusty bread or anything used for serving.
