Easy Vegan Sliders that will satisfy a comfort food craving, yet are packed full of good-for-you ingredients including wholesome lentils, savory spices, fresh cilantro, and veggies! A great appetizer for hosting a crowd.
Preheat your oven to 350° Toss 1 cup of lentils and the diced onions with all the spices (oregano, cumin, smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper).
In a food processor or blender pulse the garlic, then pulse in cilantro, tomato paste, bell pepper, and jalapeño. Then lastly pulse in the remaining cup of lentils. The mixture shouldn't have any huge chunks but smaller chunks are good. It should be a little sticky, this will hold the patties together.
Combine both lentil mixtures then add the flour and broth until they are fully incorporated.
Form patties that will fit your slider buns. I made mine pretty thick and came out with 7.5 sliders. (7 good ones and one dinky one haha).
Bake on parchment paper if you have it. This will make the sliders easier to get off the pan...I didn't use it but I wished I had. Bake for 30 minutes at 350°.
Assemble sliders and CHOW DOWN!
Notes
Definitely keep these patties as "sliders" or else they run the risk of falling apart during cooking.
