Pan-crisped plant-based sliders with caramelized onions
Two Gardein sliders turned crispy at the edges make a quick dinner when you stack them with caramelized onions and a soft bun. The onions take the longest, so start there while the patties wait. Serve with mustard, pickles, or hot sauce.

You need 2 sliders plant-based be'f sliders (Gardein), 2 tablespoons oil, 1 tablespoon butter, 1 medium onion, to taste salt, to taste pepper, 2 slider buns or soft rolls.
- Slice 1 medium onion thin. Heat 2 tablespoons oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large pan over medium-high heat, add the onions with a pinch of salt, and stir often until they turn deep golden and soft, about 15 to 18 minutes, scraping the pan as they brown.
- Push the onions to the side of the pan, place the 2 sliders in the center, and cook without moving them for 3 minutes until the bottoms are browned and crispy. Flip and cook 2 minutes more on the second side.
- Toast the 2 buns open-face in the same pan if space allows, or in a toaster, until the cut sides are golden. Divide the onions between the buns, top each with a slider, season with salt and pepper, and close if desired.
Note Swap the onions for pickled red onions or slaw if time is short. Leftovers keep one day refrigerated and reheat gently in a toaster. Serve with a pickle spear, mustard, and a simple salad or cup of soup on the side.
