Recipe by Derek Sarno

1 medium onion, peeled and thinly sliced or julienne
1/2 teaspoon olive oil (optional)
1 8 oz. bag of shredded carrots (this saves time)
1 15 oz can chickpeas - drained, rinsed and lightly crushed
3/4 cup of Smoky BBQ Sauce, or your favorite store-bought variety
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1/2 cup light beer, (optional) if not using, increase the low sodium vegetable stock by 1/2 cup
3/4 cup vegetable stock, low sodium
1 tablespoon Sriracha or hot sauce of choice
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons onion powder
1 teaspoon sea salt (optional)
Handful of cilantro, chopped

Toppings:

1 cup thin shaved cabbage
1 cup sliced pickles
1/4 cup condiment of choice, such as: Classic Cashew Sour Cream or your favorite plant-based sour cream, or Ultimate Burger Sauce
Package of your favorite whole grain slider buns

Put all the ingredients except the cilantro and toppings into a large saucepan or cook pot.
Set the pan or pot on high heat for 4+ hours until the carrots are wicked tender and the liquid has thickened up. Add chopped cilantro and mix.
Once the chickpea and carrot mixture is ready, assemble the sliders. If the buns are not as soft as you would like, lightly toast them before using.
On each side of the bread add a condiment of your choice. Pile on the BBQ mixture. Tope with shaved cabbage and sliced pickles. Don’t forget the paper towels when serving these!

For a more indulgent version of the dish, swap out those whole grain buns for some squishy white or potato slider buns.
To increase the protein, swap out the bag of carrots for your choice of 12 ounces of thinly sliced tofu, tempeh or other plant-based meat.
Top your sliders with fresh thinly sliced red chilies if you like an extra kick.
