Ingredients with Measurements:
- 1 package of Impossible Burger (12 oz)
- 1/2 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon of smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 12 slider buns
- 12 slices of vegan cheese
- 1/2 cup of vegan mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons of ketchup
- 1 tablespoon of yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon of pickle relish
- Lettuce leaves and sliced tomatoes for serving
Special equipment needed:
- Large skillet
- Spatula
- Mixing bowl
- Small bowl
- Grill or griddle (optional)
Step-by-step instructions:
1. In a mixing bowl, combine the Impossible Burger, chopped onion, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well with your hands until everything is evenly distributed.
2. Divide the mixture into 12 equal portions and shape them into small patties.
3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the patties and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked through.
4. If using a grill or griddle, preheat it to medium-high heat and cook the patties for the same amount of time.
5. While the patties are cooking, prepare the sauce by mixing the vegan mayonnaise, ketchup, yellow mustard, and pickle relish in a small bowl.
6. Once the patties are cooked, place a slice of vegan cheese on top of each patty and let it melt for a few seconds.
7. To assemble the sliders, spread some of the sauce on the bottom half of each slider bun. Top with a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, a patty with melted cheese, and the top half of the bun.
8. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Food history:
The Impossible Burger was first introduced in 2016 as a plant-based alternative to traditional beef burgers. It is made from a blend of soy and potato proteins, and is designed to look, taste, and cook like real meat.
Flavor profiles:
The Impossible Burger has a meaty, savory flavor that is similar to beef. The addition of smoked paprika gives these sliders a slightly smoky and spicy flavor.
Serving suggestions:
Serve these sliders at your next backyard barbecue or game day party for a crowd-pleasing appetizer or main dish.
