Descriptions

These Pulled Mushroom BBQ Sliders taste the real deal but are 100% plant-based! Oyster mushrooms shred beautifully to use in place of pulled pork, soak up all of the sweet-smoky BBQ flavor, and pair beautifully with a crunchy slaw on buttery brioche buns. Easy to make and easy to devour!

Directions

Step 1

Prep the Mushrooms:

- Separate the oyster mushrooms by hand using your fingers into thin shreds. You like “shreddy” bite-sized pieces like pulled pork.

Step 2

Sauté Until Golden:

- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium. Add mushrooms,.Lightly sprinkle with salt and pepper and sauté 6-8 minutes or until crispy at edges and browned.

Step 3

Add the BBQ Sauce:

- Add BBQ sauce atop mushrooms, stir well to coat, and allow simmer for 2-3 further minutes until sticky and yum.

Step 4

Build Your Sliders:

- Stack the pulled mushrooms onto the bottom half of each bun.Pile a generous scoop of crunchy coleslaw onto the juicy pulled mushrooms, crown it with the top bun, and dive in while it’s fresh and flavorful!

Pro Tips

Add a few drops of liquid smoke to the mushrooms for even bigger BBQ flavor.

Toast your buns lightly for a little extra crunch.

Mix a dash of hot sauce into the BBQ sauce if you like it spicy!

Creative Variations

Hawaiian-Style: Add grilled pineapple slices for a sweet-savory twist.

Tex-Mex: Sprinkle with jalapeños and shredded cheese before topping with the bun.

Flavor Twist: Swap in an apple-cabbage slaw for a crisp, fruity crunch that takes these sliders to the next level.

FAQs

Q: Can I use another type of mushroom?
