    Lentil Burger Sliders are such a treat. Little and easy to eat with so much deliciousness - you will want at least three. Tiny bits of carrot too!

    Lentil Burger Sliders are different and a sandwich that everyone will enjoy. I should say sandwiches since everyone will want more than one.

    The patties are not just lentils but there are also tiny bits of carrot and onion and more. I think there can never be too many sandwiches that are simple to make and tasty for all ages.

    It's only a bonus when they are warm and plant-based.

    I have to tell you what a challenge it was trying to get that tall stack of sliders in the last picture. They would slowly start to lean and down the camera went - quickly.

    It happened a few times. Straighten, grab the camera. Straighten, grab the camera. Finally! Eureka. Now I could eat them. A nice bonus. 🙂

    These can be made in the larger burger size too but it is fun to serve them on small soft dinner rolls. I layered these with fresh onion chunks and pretty green mixed lettuce.

    They would be classic with sliced cornichon pickles and sautéd cremini mushrooms too. So many angles and so much pleasure. They are fantastic!

    I've been making these little lentil patties for years. Not one ingredient has changed and that feels good.

    When you pass on a recipe to someone it's a nice feeling to know that it will stand up to many tastes for many years.

    It was fun when sliders first became the little darling at parties and restaurants everywhere. So cute and so tiny and you got to have a line-up of them.

    Sure, they started as burgers but it didn't take me long to get the old plant-based mindset working on a new recipe.

    Lentils seemed like the perfect choice and cooking them in vegetable broth added that much more flavor.

    You will have so much fun cooking these little gems and everyone around will have fun eating them.

    Any of your favorite condiments will go perfect but my recipe of Caribbean Bean Sauce is really great with these sliders. It's made out of roasted red bell peppers and is amazing.

    Roasted Red Bell Peppers Caribbean Bean Sauce is so unusual but a must have for your condiment list. Served with beans but is a great dip too.
    IF FREEZING:

    Wrap each patty in plastic wrap or flash freeze before wrapping as described in my article Preparing Food for the Freezer.

    TO PREPARE AFTER FREEZING:

    Take out of the freezer and put in the refrigerator a few hours before frying - about 2 hours. They don't have to be completely defrosted, but almost. In a large skillet. Heat 1 Tablespoon of oil and fry the patties on each side.

    Serve on your favorite bun with your favorite toppings.
