It’s time to crack open that can of cannellini beans! We’re rounding up the best 50 Vegetarian Cannellini Beans Recipes.

A packed pantry is one of the plant-based essentials, especially for quick-and-easy recipes. Beans in general are a staple in our home, so we always have a healthy, hearty source of protein to throw into a dish.

We’ve collected a list with everything from soup and salads to pasta, chili, burgers, and dips. Along with the unexpected, like cookies and vegan cheese sauces.

The best part about cannellini beans? You don’t have to cook them. Canned cannellini beans are already fully cooked.

Just drain, rinse, and they’re ready to be used in any cooked or uncooked recipe (like salads).
