Protein-Rich Beans and Quinoa Sliders

Make these quinoa sliders as quick snacks or appetizers for a party and every guest will love you! 🙂 They’re great for lunch too. 

Quinoa and beans, who would have thought this was a good combination?! I had a can of red kidney beans in the pantry, some leftover quinoa and decided to throw in some spices and other great ingredients and make these protein-rich vegan patties. I’m glad I did! What I thought would be just a regular lunch, turned out into a delicious feast!

I had some gluten-free burger buns from Schar, so I used the patties to create some delicious quinoa sliders. The extra ingredients, such as roasted eggplant, melted vegan cheese, fresh tomatoes, salad, and mustard, made these quinoa sliders absolutely amazing!

This is an easy sliders recipe that can be served as a snack or appetizer at parties, or you can make it for lunch at school or work. They may look time-consuming to make, but trust me, they’re not! If you make the patties composition in a larger batch and store it in the fridge, the sliders prep part takes only 10 minutes, tops! 🙂
