American · Main course · 27 min total

These hearty black bean and cheese sliders are a delicious vegetarian twist on classic sliders, packed with flavor and perfect for parties or a quick weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

• 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 12 slider buns
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• Optional toppings: lettuce, tomato, pickles, ketchup, mustard

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, mash black beans with a fork until mostly smooth but with some chunks.
3. Add breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, egg, cumin, salt, pepper, and 1/2 cup of the cheddar cheese. Mix until well combined.
4. Form the mixture into 12 small patties, about 2 inches in diameter.
5. Place patties on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes.
6. Remove from oven, top each patty with remaining cheese, and return to oven for 2 minutes until cheese melts.
7. While patties bake, split slider buns and brush cut sides with melted butter. Toast in a separate pan or under broiler until golden.
8. Assemble sliders: place a patty on each bun bottom, add desired toppings, and cover with bun top. Serve warm.

Tips

• For a vegan version, omit the egg and cheese, and use a flax egg (1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 3 tbsp water) and vegan cheese.
• These sliders can be made ahead and reheated in the oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes.
• Serve with sweet potato fries or a side salad.
