Nutritional Benefits

These sliders are not only delicious but also packed with nutrients that contribute to a balanced diet. Quinoa, often referred to as a super grain, is a complete protein that provides all nine essential amino acids, making it a fantastic choice for vegetarians. Coupled with black beans, this meal is rich in fiber, which promotes digestive health and keeps you feeling full longer.

What's more, the use of Greek yogurt in the spicy sauce adds a creamy texture while providing probiotics that support gut health. By choosing these Spicy Veggie Sliders, you’re not just indulging in a tasty treat but also nourishing your body with wholesome ingredients.

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Olive oil for frying
4 slider buns

For the Sauce

1/2 cup Greek yogurt
1 tbsp sriracha

Instructions

Prepare the Slider Mixture

In a bowl, mash the black beans with a fork. Add the cooked quinoa, breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, chili powder, cumin, cilantro, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

Form Sliders

Shape the mixture into small patties suitable for sliders. You should get about 4 patties.

Cook the Sliders

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for about 5-6 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown.

Make the Sriracha Sauce

In a separate bowl, mix together Greek yogurt, sriracha, lime juice, and salt to create the sauce.

Assemble the Sliders

Place each veggie patty on a slider bun and drizzle with the sriracha sauce. Serve immediately.

These sliders can be served with a side of sweet potato fries or a fresh salad.

Pro Tips

Feel free to customize the sliders with your favorite toppings such as avocado, lettuce, or cheese.

Tips for Perfect Sliders

To ensure your sliders hold together well, make sure to mash the black beans thoroughly before mixing in the other ingredients. If the mixture feels too dry, add a splash of vegetable broth or an extra tablespoon of olive oil to help bind it together. Additionally, chilling the patties in the fridge for about 30 minutes before cooking can help them firm up and maintain their shape while frying.

Experimenting with spices can also enhance the flavor of your sliders. Consider adding smoked paprika for a hint of smokiness or a pinch of cayenne pepper for extra heat. Tailoring the spice level to your preference will make these sliders even more enjoyable.

Serving Suggestions

To elevate your Spicy Veggie Sliders, consider adding fresh toppings such as avocado slices, shredded lettuce, or sliced tomatoes. These additions not only enhance the flavor but also provide a lovely contrast in texture. You could also serve the sliders with a side of sweet potato fries or a zesty coleslaw for a complete meal experience.

If you want to make it a fun and interactive meal, set up a slider bar with various toppings and sauces. This way, everyone can customize their sliders to their liking, making it a memorable dining experience for family and friends.
