Featured comment: I started using this recipe about three years ago when my husband decided to go plant-based. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve made this recipe! It is our go-to for black beans! It’s easy, versatile, and so good in burritos. Just wanted to comment after so many years of making the recipe. Thank you!” – Val

Hey there, friends! While today’s recipe may look humble and unassuming, it is one of my all-time favorite sides. Hands down!
I kid you not, I make these black beans at least once a month… and sometimes as much as once a week. No shame.
Fast and easy to prepare, yet packed with ALL the flavor, these beans deserve a weekly spot on your dinner menu rotation!
