🍛 How To Make Jamie Oliver Bbq Baked Beans
- Prepare the Vegetables: First, preheat your oven to 180°C/350°F/gas mark 4. Begin by peeling the onions and garlic. Finely slice these along with the red chilli. Next, peel and roughly chop the carrots. Take a large roasting tray and combine the onions, garlic, chilli, and carrots. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle over the paprika, cumin seeds, and chilli flakes.
- Cook the Vegetable Mixture: Place the tray on a medium heat on the stove and cook for about 20 minutes, or until the vegetables have softened. Stir them regularly to prevent burning and ensure even cooking.
- Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: While the vegetables are cooking, wash the sweet potatoes well. Rub them with a little olive oil and season with sea salt and black pepper. Place them on a separate baking tray and set aside.
- Combine the Sauce Ingredients: After the vegetables have softened, stir the passata into the vegetable mixture. Add a splash of water to the empty passata jar, swirl it around to get the remaining sauce, and pour it into the tray. Also add the mixed beans with their juice and the BBQ sauce. Stir everything together well and season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Bake the Bean Mixture: Chop the rosemary leaves and toss them with a little olive oil. Sprinkle them over the bean mixture. Place the tray in the oven and bake for about 1 hour, or until the mixture is bubbling and delicious. Add a splash of water during baking if the mixture seems too thick.
- Bake the Sweet Potatoes: Put the tray of seasoned sweet potatoes into the oven along with the beans. They should bake until soft and fully cooked through, about 1 hour.
- Make the Croutons: About 20 minutes before the beans are done, tear the ciabatta into rough chunks and toss them with a bit of olive oil in another roasting tray. If using Cheddar cheese, grate it over the bread. Place this tray on the bottom shelf of the oven and bake until the croutons are crispy and golden, about 15 minutes.
- Serve: Remove everything from the oven. Open up the sweet potatoes and serve them alongside the baked beans. Add dollops of yoghurt and sprinkle with the homemade croutons. Serve with a simple green salad to complete the meal.
đź’ Recipe Tips
- Watch the Vegetables: Keep checking the onions, garlic, and carrots as they cook. Stir them often so they cook evenly and taste good.
- Season Sweet Potatoes: Make sure to add enough salt, pepper, and oil to the sweet potatoes before baking. This makes them crispy outside and soft inside.

- Choose Good BBQ Sauce: The flavor of the beans depends a lot on the BBQ sauce. Use a high-quality sauce that tastes smoky and slightly spicy.
