Directions

1️⃣ Prep the Beans:

  • Rinse beans thoroughly and check for any debris.
  • Place in a bowl, cover with cold water (several inches above beans), and soak overnight (8-12 hours).

2️⃣ Cook the Beans:

  • Drain and rinse well.
  • Add to a stockpot, cover with fresh water, and simmer for 30 minutes until slightly tender. Drain and set aside.

3️⃣ Prepare the Flavor Base:

  • Chop bell peppers, onion, and garlic. Combine in a large bowl.
  • Dilute tomato paste in ½ cup water, then add to the vegetables.
  • Stir in olive oil, oregano, salt, and black pepper.

4️⃣ Assemble & Roast:

  • Gently fold in the cooked beans and quartered grape tomatoes.
  • Transfer everything to a 9×13 glass casserole dish and drizzle an extra ¼ cup of water over the top.
  • Cover with foil and roast at 375°F (190°C) for 1 hour.
  • Remove foil and roast uncovered for an additional 10 minutes to develop a deeper flavor.
  • Sprinkle with red pepper flakes if desired.
