Ingredients You'll Need
1 can (15 oz) chickpeas (or 1 cup cooked lentils or black beans)
1/2 cup breadcrumbs (use gluten-free breadcrumbs for a gluten-free option)
1 tbsp ground flaxseed (mixed with 3 tbsp water to make a flax egg)
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tbsp soy sauce or tamari (for gluten-free)
1 tbsp mustard
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp olive oil (for cooking)
Slider buns (gluten-free if needed)
Toppings: lettuce, tomato, pickles, vegan mayo, mustard, or ketchup
Prepare the Veggie Patty Mixture
In a food processor, combine the chickpeas (or lentils/black beans), breadcrumbs, flax egg, onion, garlic, smoked paprika, cumin, soy sauce, mustard, salt, and pepper. Pulse until everything is well combined but still slightly chunky for texture.
Shape the Patties
Form the mixture into small patties, about the size of a slider bun (you should get around 6-8 patties depending on the size).
Cook the Sliders
Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the patties and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Assemble the Sliders
Toast the slider buns. Place each patty on a bun and top with lettuce, tomato, pickles, and a drizzle of vegan mayo. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce or side dish.
