Ingredients
  

1 cup cooked quinoa

1 cup grated zucchini (squeeze out excess moisture)

1 cup canned chickpeas, drained and mashed

½ cup finely chopped red bell pepper

½ cup crumbled feta cheese

¼ cup chopped fresh parsley

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon cumin

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs

1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking)

Mini whole wheat slider buns

Tzatziki sauce (for serving)

Sliced cucumbers and tomatoes (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, grated zucchini, mashed chickpeas, chopped red bell pepper, crumbled feta cheese, parsley, oregano, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.

    Form the Patties: Gradually stir in the whole wheat breadcrumbs until the mixture holds together. Shape the mixture into small patties, about the size of your slider buns. You should get around 12-15 patties.

      Cook the Sliders: In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the patties (cook in batches if needed) and fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.

        Prep the Buns: While the sliders are cooking, lightly toast the mini whole wheat slider buns until just golden.

          Assemble the Sliders: Spread a generous amount of tzatziki sauce on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Place a cooked veggie patty on top, add slices of cucumber and tomato, and finish with the top half of the bun.

            Serve and Enjoy: Arrange the sliders on a platter and serve with extra tzatziki on the side for dipping. Enjoy your delicious Mini Greek Veggie Sliders!
