INGREDIENTS

Veggie Burgers:
¼ cup Navitas Organics Chia Seeds
1½ cups cooked sweet potato (~ 1 medium sweet potato)
1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup cooked quinoa
1 garlic clove, minced
¼ cup diced onion
3 Tbsp. taco seasoning

Sliders:
12 mini Hawaiian rolls
3 Tbsp. melted butter of choice
2 Tbsp. chopped parsley
1½ cups cheese of choice

DIRECTIONS

Cook quinoa according to package. While quinoa is cooking, wrap the sweet potato in a damp paper towel and microwave for 5 minutes or until you can easily pierce it with a fork.

Preheat oven to 350° F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Allow sweet potato to cool for 10 minutes before handling, then remove skin and place in a large mixing bowl. Add black beans and mash together.

Add chia seeds, cooked quinoa, garlic, onion and taco seasoning, and mix until all ingredients are equally distributed.

Scoop 2 Tbsp. veggie burger mixture, roll into a ball then place on parchment. Gently press down to flatten and repeat with the remaining mixture, spacing each burger ½ inch apart. Bake for 5 minutes, flip, then bake for another 5 minutes.

Line another baking tray with parchment paper and heat butter. Cut Hawaiian rolls in half then add bottom layer of Hawaiian slider rolls to parchment.

Once veggie burgers are cooked, place each veggie burger slider on bottom layer of Hawaiian rolls. Add cheese and top of Hawaiian buns. Pour melted butter over and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Bake for 10 minutes. Serve with your favorite condiment and enjoy!
