Baked Cannellini Beans with Potatoes and Carrots

Baked Cannellini Beans with Potatoes and CarrotsHurricane Sandy has been a devastating storm affecting the lives of millions of people. Luckily we were spared from the worst effects here in Park Slope, Brooklyn. We did, however, hunker down in our apartment for a few days and had to rely on whatever food we had stocked up. One of those essentials I recommend everyone to have in their pantry is canned beans. I love cooking with beans and ended up making a nutritious vegetarian one-pot dish along with a few other vegetables. I had potatoes and carrots on hand, but you can use vegetables like brussels sprouts, broccoli, parsnips or onions.

Update: If you want to help the victims of Hurricane Sandy, go to Red Cross to find out ways to donate.

Prepare the potatoes, carrots, tomatoes and garlic.

Toss vegetables with olive oil, vineger & herbs. Bake for 30-35 minutes, then stir in beans & bake an extra 6-8 minutes.

      Glad you are safe. My family is in Manhattan and L.I. and they are ok too. Without power, but that’s the least of it! I am looking forward to making this recipe–I have a lot of cannellini in the pantry!

      Made this tonight and really loved the simple, healthy and yummy dish! We are going to have it with salmon next time and my husband thinks this would be great in the winter as a side for a brisket!
