Ingredients for One-Pot Baked Chickpeas and White Beans

The two components of this baked dish are the beans and the tomato sauce. Start by making the sauce. You'll need:

  • Garlic. Use fresh garlic that's been minced or grated on a microplane.
  • Tomato paste. This is a secret to rich, deep umami flavor.
  • Grape tomatoes. You can also use cherry tomatoes.
  • Vegetable stock. If you're not vegan or vegetarian, chicken broth will also work.
  • White wine. Use a dry, flavorful white wine you like.

Next, for the beans, you'll need:

  • Chickpeas and white beans. White beans are also called cannellini beans. Drain and rinse them well.
  • Dried seasonings. This dish gets infused with flavor from a medley of dried spices: oregano, thyme, black pepper, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, smoked paprika, cinnamon and allspice.

You can also mix up the spice blend in the chickpeas. If you like more classic Italian flavors use an Italian seasoning blend. For more spice, amp up the crushed red peppers. And for added warmth, use more cinnamon. You could even stir in a few cinnamon sticks while the sauce cooks. Then remove the sticks before serving.
