Ingredients

• 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/2 cup grated carrots
• 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 egg, beaten (or flax egg for vegan option)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (for frying)
• 4 sesame seed buns
• 1 cup lettuce leaves
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce (adjust for spice preference)

How to Make Crispy Veggie Sliders

1. In a large mixing bowl, mash the chickpeas with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth, leaving some chunks for texture.
2. Add the breadcrumbs, grated carrots, chopped onion, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, pepper, and the beaten egg. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
3. Form the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties, about 1/2 inch thick.
4. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
5. While the patties are cooking, prepare the spicy sauce by mixing the mayonnaise and sriracha in a small bowl. Adjust the amount of sriracha to your desired spice level.
6. Once the patties are cooked, assemble your sliders by placing a patty on each sesame seed bun, topping with lettuce and a generous drizzle of the spicy sauce.
7. Serve immediately and enjoy your crispy veggie sliders!

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure the chickpeas are well-drained to prevent a mushy mixture.
• For extra flavor, add chopped herbs like parsley or cilantro to the patty mixture.
• If the mixture feels too wet, add a bit more breadcrumbs until it holds together well.
• Don’t skip the resting time after frying; let the patties sit for a minute before assembling to keep the buns from getting soggy.

Easy Variations

• Swap chickpeas with black beans or lentils for a different flavor profile.
• Add diced bell peppers or corn to the patty mixture for extra texture and taste.
• For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free breadcrumbs or oats.
• Experiment with different sauces like garlic aioli or spicy ketchup for a unique twist.

What to Serve With It

• Sweet potato fries for a satisfying crunch.
• A fresh garden salad to balance the richness of the sliders.
• Pickle spears for a tangy bite.
• Veggie sticks with hummus as a light side.
