- 1 tsp. salt
- ¼ tsp. freshly ground black pepper
- 15 oz. black beans canned, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup oats quick or old-fashioned, (gluten-free for gluten free option)

Optional Toppings

Here’s How
- In a medium-sized pot combine sweet potatoes, quinoa, and vegetable broth. Cover pot with a lid and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes, or until sweet potatoes are fork tender.
- In a small bowl combine cumin, paprika, granulated garlic, salt, and pepper.
- Pulse oats in a high speed blender 3-4 times to make a coarse oat flour.
- Once sweet potatoes and quinoa are done cooking (all the water should be absorbed) add them to a large bowl with black beans, coarse oat flour, onion, cilantro, and seasoning mix. Mix until well combined.
- Divide the slider mixture into 12 equal portions. Form each portion into a round disc about 3/4 inch thick.
- Spray cooking oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place slider patties in a single layer. (You may have to cook these in 2 batches depending on the size of your skillet.)
- Cook patties for 4-5 minutes per side until golden.
Assemble your sliders:
- Place a half slice of the Vevan Ched-Melts on top of each patty.
- Top each slider bun with your favorite toppings and serve warm.
