5 from 50 reviews

A quick and flavorful recipe for seasoned vegan black beans that are perfect as a side dish or a protein-packed addition to your meals. Made with simple pantry staples and ready in just minutes, these black beans are seasoned with cumin, onion, garlic, and a splash of red wine vinegar for extra brightness.

Ingredients

Scale

Black Beans

  • 15 ounce can black beans (with liquid)
  • 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar

Seasonings

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (more to taste)
  • 1/8 teaspoon sea salt (more to taste)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Add the black beans, including the liquid from the can, to a small saucepan. Add the salt, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and ground cumin to the saucepan, ensuring all seasonings are included for a balanced flavor.
  2. Heat and Stir: Place the saucepan over medium heat. Stir the mixture frequently to prevent sticking, and cook until the beans are hot and bubbly, which should take about 3 to 5 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together while heating the beans through.
  3. Add Vinegar and Adjust Seasoning: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the red wine vinegar. Taste the beans and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding more salt or pepper to suit your preference.
  4. Serve: Serve the seasoned black beans hot as a delicious side dish or part of your favorite meals.

Notes

  • You can use low-sodium or no-salt-added black beans if you want to control the salt content more precisely.
  • Red wine vinegar adds a nice tangy brightness but can be substituted with apple cider vinegar or lime juice if preferred.
  • For a creamier texture, you can mash some of the beans with the back of a spoon while heating.
  • This recipe is versatile and can be doubled for larger servings.
  • Make sure to stir frequently to avoid burning the beans at the bottom of the pan.
