vegan quinoa lentil sliders recipe

By Healthy Voyager

The weather is getting warmer and that means grillin’ time! For veggies, grillin’ means veggie dogs and veggie burgers so this is my contribution to put a twist on the usual veggie burger. They are sweet, savory and small!! Yay for sliders!

  • 1 small sweet potato, baked
  • 1/4 cup dry quinoa
  • 1/4 cup dry oats
  • 15-ounce lentils, rinsed and drained
  • 2 tablespoons parsley
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
 (Your choice of gluten free flour if you are gluten free)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Peel, dice, and steam the sweet potato until soft. Cook the quinoa and oats in separate pots.

In a food processor, combine garbanzo beans, sweet potato, parsley, cayenne pepper, cumin, salt and pepper, flour, and one tablespoon oil.

In a separate bowl, mix the bean mixture with the quinoa and oats. Using hands, form into twelve small patties.

Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in a pan on medium heat. Brown both sides of each burger.

Serve on a toasted slider buns and top with chopped salad greens, dressed with a drizzle of olive oil, lemon, salt & pepper. If you want to nix the bun, serve the patty on a bed of dressed dark leafy greens.
