Ingredients

BBQ Chickpea Sliders

  • 1 15-oz [425-g] can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • ½ cup 120 ml BBQ sauce
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon chili powder
  • Salt to taste
  • 12 whole wheat slider buns
  • 1 cup 340 g Pineapple Slaw (recipe follows)
  • Roasted sunflower seeds for serving, optional

Pineapple Slaw

  • ½ ripe avocado, mashed
  • 55g crushed pineapple, drained
  • 2 tablespoon 5g cilantro leaves, torn
  • ½ tablespoon 7 ml agave
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • ½ teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 cups 680 g purple cabbage, shredded
  • salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

To make the Chickpea Sliders

  • Add the chickpeas, BBQ sauce, garlic powder and chili powder to a saucepan. Cook over medium heat for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring constantly and smashing about half of the chickpeas with the back of a fork or slotted spoon. Add water 1 tablespoon (15 ml) at a time if the mixture starts sticking to the bottom of the saucepan. Remove from heat and season with salt to taste.
  • To assemble, spread a spoonful of the BBQ chickpeas on the bottom portion of a whole wheat slider bun. Top with a scoop of Pineapple Slaw and sprinkle with roasted sunflower seeds for some extra crunch, if desired.

To make the Pineapple Slaw

  • Combine the mashed avocado, pineapple, cilantro, agave, lime juice and apple cider vinegar in a mixing bowl. Whisk to combine, adding a bit of water to thin as necessary. Once you have a nice creaming dressing, stir in the cabbage, toss to thoroughly combine and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
