French Onion White Bean Skillet

0 Heat a large nonstick or cast iron skillet over medium heat, and add in the dairy free butter or oil if using. Add in the onions and turn the heat up a bit higher, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until they begin to reduce liquid and become tender.
1 Combine the water and vegan "beef" broth and reduce heat to medium low, bringing to a simmer, and covering to let cook for 10-12 minutes until very tender.
2 Uncover and increase the heat to medium high, adding salt and maple syrup, stirring occasionally to get all of the onions nice and browned and caramelized.
3 Add in the garlic, thyme and black pepper and stir to combine.
4 Pour in the beans and stir in the balsamic, coconut aminos, coconut milk, and parmesan. Season to taste.
5 Sprinkle with parsley leaves and stir right before serving. Serve hot on its own, over rice or pasta, over your favorite protein of choice, or with warm, crusty bread or naan for sopping up all the delicious flavor.
