How to make beans on toast?
If you have Heinz baked beans then you are good to go 🙂 However, I used romano beans here which I cooked from scratch (you know I am a girl who loves making recipes from scratch ;))
Heat oil in the pan. Add onion, crushed tomatoes, chili flakes, garlic powder, salt, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and red chili powder.
Add drained beans into that with a little bit of water and simmer the mixture for about 2 to 3 minutes.
Toast your favorite bread. Spread beans on the bread and garnish with basil and cilantro.
