Crispy Beet Sliders
Try these sliders at home when you’re looking to “get away” from your usual routine.
Servings: 1 serving
Ingredients
For Beets:
- Cooked beets sliced about 3/4 inch thick*
- 1 heaping tablespoon flour per slice
- Salt
- Pepper
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon milk or water
- 1 heaping tablespoon panko breadcrumbs per slice
For Sliders
- Slider buns lightly toasted
- Boursin cheese
- Pickled onions
- Avocado slices
- Arugula or mixed greens
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment or foil. Set aside.
- Dredge the beets by first tossing in flour, shaking off excess, then dunking into the egg mixture.
- Let the excess egg drip off, then toss immediately into the panko bread crumbs until completely coated. Place on prepared baking pan.
- Repeat with all beet slices. Bake for about 15-20 minutes or until the panko is golden.
To Assemble Sliders:
- Spread Boursin on the slider buns. Place a crispy beet slice on the bun. Top with some pickled red onion, avocado and greens of your choice.
Notes
Instead of buying raw beets and roasting or steaming them {which I find messy and time consuming}, I used ready-to-eat beets from Trader Joe's. They can be found in the produce section sealed in plastic. You can cook your own beets or buy them prepared for easier preparation.
I didn't specify the amounts for this recipe because it depends on how many sliders you want to make. A large beet can be sliced into 3-4 slider "steaks." This recipe is easy to make for one or multiply for a crowd.
This recipe was inspired by my visit to 5 Church in Charleston, South Carolina.
