Ingredients:
For the Vegan Patty:
1 can (15 oz) black beans (or chickpeas) strained and washed
1 cup breadcrumbs (use gluten-free breadcrumb for a gluten-free version)
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup grated carrot
2 tbsp nutritional yeast (for cheesiness)
2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari, for gluten-free)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional, for smokiness)
Salt and pepper to taste
Olive oil for frying
For Assembling the Slider
Mini slider-sized buns (store-bought or made from scratch)
Lettuce leaves (for crunch)
Coleslaw (for some crunch)
Vegan mayo (or any vegan sauce of choice, like ketchup or mustard)
Pickles (optional)
Avocado slices (optional)
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Make the Vegan Patty Mixture:
In a large mixing bowl, mash the black beans (or chickpeas) with a fork or potato masher. Leave some chunks for texture, but most of the beans should be mashed up.
Add the bread crumbs, the chopped onion and grated carrot to the bowl and mix them all together well.
Add the nutritional yeast, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, along with a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Mix everything until well combined and the mixture holds together. If it’s too dry, pour in a splash of water or vegetable broth.
Form the Patties:
Form small, bite-sized patties using tablespoonfuls of the mixture (around 2 tbsp). These need to be a touch smaller than your mini slider buns, because they're going to puff up a little when you cook them. Yield will be around 8-10 patties, depending on size.
Cook the Patties:
In a non-stick skillet, heat a bit of olive oil on medium.
When the pan is hot, add the patties and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden and crispy on the outside. This made them quite thin so be careful flipping them.
Assemble the Sliders:
For crunch, toast the mini slider buns lightly in a toaster or grill pan.
Spread some vegan mayo (or whichever vegan sauce you choose) on the bottom part of each bun.
Top with one vegan patty.
Top with a slice of tomato, a layer of lettuce, pickles or avocado slices, if you like.
Add the other half of the bun to finish your slider.
How to Make the Best Vegan Mini Sliders:
Tweak the patty: You can use different beans (kidney beans, pinto beans) or add different vegetables (bell peppers, zucchini, for example) for flavor and texture.
Make it ahead: You can prepare the patty mixture up to a day ahead and refrigerate it until you’re ready to cook.
Serving Suggestions: Serve your sliders with crispy fries, a side salad, sweet potato fries, whatever you like!
Health Benefits:
High in Fiber: We know beans are high in fiber, so these sliders support digestion and heart health.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Can I make these sliders gluten free? Yes! Use gluten-free breadcrumbs instead of standard breadcrumbs.
Can I bake instead of frying the patties?
Yes, they can be backing at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway. This will give you a somewhat healthier alternative.
Can you freeze these vegan sliders?
Food note: Patty can be frozen before cooking. Simply put them on a baking sheet and freeze until firm, then move to freezer bag. To cook, just fry or bake from the freezer, adding a few minutes to the cooking time.
