Ingredients

• 1 cup Textured vegetable protein (TVP)
• 1 cup Vegetable broth
• 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Vegan Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs (ensure vegan)
• 2 cups Yellow onion, finely diced
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 12 pieces Slider buns (ensure vegan)
• 12 slices Dill pickle chips
• 6 slices Vegan cheese slices (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the TVP and vegetable broth. Let it sit for 10 minutes to rehydrate.

Step 2

Once the TVP is rehydrated, add the nutritional yeast, soy sauce, vegan Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well to combine.

Step 3

Add the all-purpose flour and breadcrumbs to the TVP mixture. Stir until everything is well incorporated and the mixture holds together like a dough. If it's too wet, add more breadcrumbs a tablespoon at a time.

Step 4

Divide the TVP mixture into 12 equal portions and form them into small square patties, roughly the size of the slider buns.

Step 5

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onions and sauté for 5-7 minutes until soft and translucent. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 6

Using the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Cook the TVP patties over medium heat for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are browned and heated through.

Step 7

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the bottoms of the slider buns on a large baking sheet. Arrange the cooked patties on top of the buns.

Step 8

Optional: If using vegan cheese, place half a slice on each patty. Transfer the sliders to the oven and bake for 5 minutes, or until the cheese melts.

Step 9

Top each patty with a spoonful of sautéed onions, a dill pickle slice, and the top bun.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your Vegan White Castle Sliders!
