Ingredients & Substitutions
Tempeh is such a wonderful protein source and has a nutty flavor that really shines in these sliders. If you're ever in the mood for a twist, swapping in some BBQ sauce instead of soy sauce can give it a fun flavor profile. And don’t skip on the toppings; fresh avocado and cilantro really elevate the dish!
Tips & Notes
- •I like to double the tempeh mixture and save half for a quick salad topping later in the week.
- •If you want a bit of heat, throw in some chopped jalapeños while sautéing the onions!
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I’ll add grated carrots or shredded zucchini to the tempeh mix for extra veggies.
- •You can also try adding different spices like cumin or chili powder for a southwestern flair.
Storage & Freezing
These sliders are best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store the tempeh mixture in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just reheat before serving, and assemble your sliders again!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these sliders gluten-free?
Absolutely! Just use gluten-free buns and tamari instead of soy sauce. They’ll be just as delicious.
