Vegan Sliders

When planning winning snacks for the perfect game-day party, what could be more quintessential than nachos, brewskies, and sliders? White Castle may have invented these meaty munchkins, but it’s 2012, and they’ve gone vegan in all of their salty, smoky, satisfying little glory. Awaiting condiments and dairy-free cheese or just dang good on their own, Gardein’s Ultimate Sliders scored a touchdown with the VN staff and left us eager for more. Between their fluffy bun, tasty patty, and extreme ease of preparation, we’re confident that these bitty burgers—coming to a natural-foods store near you this spring—will be a big hit with vegans and omnivores alike. Game on!
