Best Bean And Veggie Sliders Recipes

BLACK BEAN SLIDERS

Steps:

• Thaw rolls at room temperature until soft but still cold, about 10 minutes. Spray cookie sheet with cooking spray. Cut each roll into quarters; shape dough pieces into balls. Place on cookie sheet. Brush tops of dough balls with butter. Cover with plastic wrap sprayed with cooking spray. Let rise in warm place 2 hours to 2 hours 30 minutes until doubled in size.
• Heat oven to 350°F. Remove plastic wrap. Bake buns 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan to cooling rack.
• Meanwhile, in medium bowl, mix salsa ingredients. Cover; refrigerate until serving time.
• In 10-inch nonstick skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of the oil over medium heat. Cook onion in oil 3 to 4 minutes, stirring often, until softened. Remove from heat; cool slightly.
• In medium bowl, mash beans with potato masher or fork, leaving a few beans whole. Stir in egg, bread crumbs, garlic, cumin, salt and pepper. Add cooled onion; mix until thoroughly combined. Shape mixture into 20 (1-inch) balls, using about 1 scant tablespoon per ball.
• In same skillet, heat 2 teaspoons oil over medium heat. Place half of the bean balls in skillet; with back of spatula, flatten balls into patties, about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Cook 4 to 6 minutes, turning once, until browned. Remove from skillet; cover to keep warm. Repeat with remaining 2 teaspoons oil and bean balls.
• Split buns in half. On each bun bottom, place lettuce piece, bean patty, cheese quarter and 1 heaping tablespoon corn salsa. Cover with bun tops.

SPICY BLACK BEAN SLIDERS WITH CHIPOTLE MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients together in a small bowl. Refrigerate in an airtight container until ready to use.
• Place beans in a small bow and mash with a fork or potato masher. Add egg, bread crumbs, adobo sauce, oregano, cumin, smoked paprika, cayenne (if using), salt and pepper. Mix well.
• Form into one-ounce patties - about 2 tablespoons per patty - by rolling mixture into a ball, packing together firmly, then flattening slightly.
• Add the olive oil to a large saute pan over medium heat. Working in batches so that the burgers aren't too crowded, cook one one side until browned - about 5 minutes, then carefully flip and cook until browned and cooked through, about 10 minutes total.
• Remove patties to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain and cool slightly.
• Put slider buns sliced-side up on a cookie sheet. Add black bean patties to the bottom halves of the buns and top with cheese. Place under oven broiler until cheese has melted and buns are golden brown, about one minute (depending on your broiler - just watch carefully!)
• Remove from oven and slather chipotle mayo on the inside of the bun tops. Top burgers with red onions and pickles, sandwich with the bun top, and secure with a toothpick or skewer. Serve immediately.
