I definitely have a thing for skillet meals. Something about being able to just throw everything in there and be done! Plus, the very word “skillet” conjures up something tasty to me – a meal that’s probably hearty, classic, and easy to make.

Needless to say, this Tuscan White Bean Skillet checks all those boxes. And a few more for good measure. The dish also happens to be healthy and casually vegan. Like, low-key vegan. It’s not trying or going out of its way to be, it just conveniently works out that way. That’s how we like to roll here from time to time! You can read a little about why in this round-up of favorite meatless meals.

Tuscan White Bean Skillet: What you’ll need

So, what makes this skillet so great and flavorful? As with all the best meals, it’s just a bunch of fantastic ingredients brought together in a simple, delicious way!

Bowls filled with the ingredients: white beans, kale, onions, artichoke hearts, garlic, diced tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, seasoning.

Your shopping list:

From there, it’s so easy to make. Literally one skillet, throw it all in, cook for awhile, and you’re done.

So highly recommend eating it out of bowls with crusty slices of bread. I’ve just been picking up loaves of sourdough at TJs. Slice, brush with a tiny bit of olive oil, and toast the slices quickly in the oven or on the grill. Heaven!

You don’t even need to feel bad eating seconds! There’s nothing bad in here, and lots of protein and veg.

I’ve made this skillet, no joke, FIVE TIMES in the past month and a half. It’s a great, filling meatless option, and with my step-kids around I am always looking for those! Also, I wanted very much to find time to take pictures to share on the blog, and that kept being difficult. #momlife

I’m trying something new here and including step-by-step photos below the recipe card, so it’s quick and easy to get to the card if you’re just looking to cook right away, but there’s a lot more visual guidance down there if you want it! Let me know if you like this approach – or don’t, or don’t care! Ha!

Quickly add in the drained beans, diced tomatoes with their liquid, artichoke hearts, oregano, and thyme. Stir everything in, cover it up, and let it cook for about 8 minutes. This will soften the beans, reduce the liquid from the tomatoes, and bring out all the flavor.
