Black Bean and Edamame Sliders

by 53 Comments

Edamame Healthy Sliders Vegetarian Move over Sloppy Joes... I've got a protein-packed black bean-edamame mixture that is going to change your life.  I love the edamame here as it lightens up the black bean mixture, so it doesn't taste too dense.  I love to make these for company and they are fast and easy and everyone loves them.  Did I mention these are like the healthiest "sliders" you could ever have?  PERFECT for Game Day!

Also great for any vegetarians in the mix. 

I love the heat from the peppers, but then you get the sweet from the BBQ sauce...can we say flavor EXPLOSION!? I  bring the "moni-heat" using 1 chipotle chile (in adobo sauce) AND a jalapeno pepper...plus, everything is better with BBQ sauce, agreed? NOTES:
  • You can also make this gluten free by selection GF crackers and buns.
  • You can also use this as a sandwich spread or cracker topper if you take out the egg white.
Enjoy! Try all my healthy meals and snacks.  Follow Moni to connect on Face Book, Twitter, Pinterest, and Instagram (-to get a look of my everyday eats!)

Servings

12 Sliders

Ingredients

  • 1 cup frozen shelled edamame
  • 1-2 cloves garlic
  • 1 15-oz. can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 chipotle chile in adobo sauce, drained and minced
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, optional (but I love the combo of heat.)
  • 1-2 egg whites, to mold together, see if you need 1 and then use 2 if needed.
  • 1 tbs. barbecue sauce for mixture, divided, (then about 3/4 cups needed for topping.)
  • 1 1/2 tsp. ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1-2 dashes of crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 cup cilantro, optional
  • A handful of crackers (can use GF), pulse in the mixture, optional
  • 1 tbs. olive oil
  • 12 small whole-wheat dinner rolls (can use GF), split like buns
  • 4 oz. sharp cheddar cheese, cut into 12 slices

Directions

  1. Bring small pot of water to a boil. Add edamame, and cook about 5 minutes. Drain.
  2. Process garlic in food processor until minced. Add edamame, black beans, chipotle chile, jalapeno pepper (if using), egg whites, cilantro (if using), 1 Tbs. barbecue sauce, cumin, chili powder, crused red pepper flakes, and salt. Process until mixture forms coarse paste. Now add about 1 cup of crackers and only pulse 6-8 times.  Form into small patties, like sliders. NOTE: Once the patties are formed - you could cook them off in a grill too.
  3. For Pan Cooking: Heat oil in saucepan over medium-low heat (Or Grill). Add edamame mixture, and heat until hot, flipping over and until both sides are a bit golden.
  4. Spoon 1 Tbs. barbecue sauce onto each bottom bun. Top with slider, cheese, and any other toppings you like. Then place the other top bun on. Enjoy!

  2. I do consider all of the ideas you’ve introduced in your post. They’re really convincing and will certainly work. Nonetheless, the posts are too short for novices. May just you please extend them a bit from next time? Thanks for the post.
