These scrumptious tender, but crispy burgers have just the right amount of spice and the secret to these bad boys is that they are vegan!
In a small frying pan over medium high heat the olive oil and add the onion, shredded carrots, garlic and sun dried tomatoes and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring once or twice, turn off
heat and let cool.
In a food processor fitted with a metal blade, add the chickpeas, BBQ sauce, vegan mayo, cilantro, cumin, salt, pepper, paprika, chipotle chilies, baking powder, flower and the sautéed
carrot mixture. Pulse mix until all blended into a thick paste…it will be sticky.
Since mixture will be sticky, with wet hands, form the mixture into 10 equal sized small patties and place them on a parchment lined sheet pan, cover with damp paper towel and let
rest in the refrigerator for an hour.
While chickpea sliders are chilling in the fridge combine all the secret sauce ingredients in a small bowl, cover and place in the fridge until you assemble the sliders.
Heat oil in pan on stove on medium high heat and cook the patties for 4 to 5 minutes per side until brown and crispy
Serve on small dinner rolls with the secret sauce and other toppings of your choice. Makes 10 sliders
