Serving Suggestions
When it comes to serving these Spicy Veggie Sliders, consider pairing them with a side of sweet potato fries or a fresh garden salad for a balanced meal. The combination of textures and flavors from the sliders and sides will elevate your dining experience.
For an extra kick, you might want to serve them with additional spicy sauce on the side. This allows guests to customize their sliders to their liking, making each bite as fiery or mild as they prefer.
Storage and Reheating
If you have leftovers, store the cooked sliders in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. They reheat beautifully in a toaster oven or on a skillet, making them a quick meal option for busy weeknights.
For longer storage, consider freezing the uncooked patties. Simply shape them and place them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag for up to three months. Cook from frozen by adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
