Bean and Veggie Sliders topped with Mango, Chili and Garlic Dressing

Bean and Veggie Sliders topped with Mango, Chili and Garlic Dressing

What kind of vegan meal planning app would we be if we didn't create a veggie slider? We actually cooked this up a while ago, but only now got around to posting it.

It's our most liked photo on Instagram so far!

We decided to go with kidney beans and rice for the patty, since everyone else uses black beans and we wanted to be a bit different.

These sliders are great for after the gym. They pack 17g protein with a complete amino acid profile and the mango gives you a simple carb hit to kick start recovery.

We can't promise you'll be able to stop at one though!

So, enough talking, here's the recipe! We sure your going to love it. They're tender, flavourful, sweet, savoury and amazeballs!

  3. Shape one patty for each burger bun.
  4. Gently heat up some oil in a frying pan and cook the patties until browned. Gently flip and continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes. Remove from frying pan and continue cooking the remaining patties the same way.

Notes

  • You can get creative with the toppings – add onions, avocados, capsicums, etc.
  • The patties are soft and fragile, but don’t worry if it breaks as it can be reshaped easily even after it is cooked .
