For this veggie burger recipe I took Nature's Path Qi'a cereal, packed with healthy ingredients like chia and hemp seeds, then combined it with the Italian flavors of a caprese salad to make a scrumptious, gluten free and vegetarian slider recipe! 
Ingredients - 1 bag (7.9 oz) Nature's Path Qi'a Original Flavor
- 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
- 1 can (15 oz) garbanzo beans (drained)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- ¼ cup fresh basil
- 6 oz fresh mozzarella
- 18 King's Hawaiian Rolls (or lettuce wraps for gluten free)
- ¼ cup basil pesto (click link for homemade recipe)
Place the garbanzo beans in a food processor with the garlic and basil. Blend until all ingredients are combined well. 
In a large bowl, combine the tomato sauce soaked Qi'a with the pureed garbanzo bean mixture and hand mix with a spoon. 
Form the mixture into 18 slider burger patties. 
Place on a greased grill pan or cast iron skillet on the stovetop over medium heat. Cook for 5-7 minutes per side. Before removing from the heat, place a small piece of mozzarella cheese on top of each slider. Allow to melt slightly, then place on a roll. Spread a spoonful of pesto on the top of the roll. Place the top roll on the slider and dig in! 
So much flavor in such a little burger and easy to whip up in just a few minutes, great for a "Meatless Monday" dinner or as a vegetarian option at a BBQ! 
Vegetarian Option: This recipe is vegetarian. The slider patties are also vegan, serve on a salad or lettuce wrap without the cheese & pesto to make this recipe vegan. Gluten Free Option: The slider patties are gluten-free. Serve on a gluten free bun, on top of a salad or lettuce wrapped to make this recipe gluten free.Source: http://ladiesblog.net/caprese-veggie-burger-sliders.html
