We've officially stepped into (veggie) burger weather. The warm breeze, the blossoming trees, and the smell of fresh-cut grass. All signs point to summer.<\/p>\n

These BBQ beet kimchi sliders are PACKED with flavor and so, so satisfying. Think: savory, smoky, a little spicy, hearty, and packed with protein.<\/p>\n

Nasoya<\/a>'s (NEW) Kimchi is folded into the base of these beet burgers\u00a0and<\/em> piled on top. Double the kimchi = double the zippy, tangy, crunchy bite.<\/p>\n

I used their classic Mild Kimchi, but any of their variations\u2014Spicy, Radish, or White Kimchi\u2014would be excellent in this recipe.<\/p>\n

\"Vegan<\/p>\n

To make the slider patties, you'll first steam three cups of diced beets.<\/p>\n

While the beets steam, simmer one cup split red lentils until tender\u00a0and<\/em> saut\u00e9 diced yellow onion with chopped kimchi, garlic, and spices. This recipe is all about (simple) multitasking.<\/p>\n

Once the beets and lentils have cooked, add them to a food processor along with rolled oats, BBQ sauce, chipotle peppers, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper. Pulse several times, or until the ingredients are chopped and combined yet the mixture still has a bit of texture.<\/p>\n

Transfer the beet mixture to a large mixing bowl, and stir in the saut\u00e9ed kimchi mixture, more rolled oats, sunflower seeds, a spoonful of brown sugar, and ground flaxseed.<\/p>\n

Give the mixture a good stir. Then, cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to chill (this makes it easier to handle).<\/p>\n

A 30-minute chill is the bare minimum. The good news is that you can prepare the patty mixture up to a full day in advance and simply chill until you're ready to form the patties.<\/p>\n

Once the beet mixture is thoroughly chilled, use a \u2153-cup measuring cup to scoop out mounds of the \"dough\". Form each into a patty and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.<\/p>\n

Once all the patties are formed (you should have about 15 or so), bake them for 25 minutes, or until golden brown on the bottom and slightly crisp on top<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Prepare the buns and toppings while the beet sliders bake.<\/p>\n

I LOVE using pretzel slider rolls for this recipe, but feel free to choose your favorite bun\u2014e.g., whole wheat, white, gluten-free, etc.<\/p>\n

I highly recommend toasting the buns. It adds an extra-special touch.<\/p>\n

In addition to toasting the buns, roughly chop about one cup of Nasoya's Mild Kimchi<\/a> (or Spicy if you'd like a kick of heat). Other topping suggestions: Fresh flat-leaf parsley, BBQ sauce, yellow onion, etc.<\/p>\n

I like to balance the earthiness and smokiness of the slider patties with fresh, zesty, and bright elements.<\/p>\n

\"Vegan<\/p>\n

Once the patties are ready, tuck them into your toasted slider buns and top with kimchi, BBQ sauce, etc.<\/p>\n

Then, take a bite and marvel at the deliciousness of these plant-powered (mini) burgers.<\/p>\n

Not only are these sliders satisfying, they're also highly nutrient dense and offer the added tummy soothing benefits of kimchi. An all-around win.<\/p>\n
