Who needs meat to make a delicious slider? These vegetarian squash sliders are sweet, tangy and messy. If you can't find mini slider buns, slice hot dog buns into thirds.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 small spaghetti squash (about 3 pounds)
Kosher salt
3/4 cup of your favorite barbecue sauce
3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 teaspoons mayonnaise
1/4 small head red cabbage, finely chopped
1/4 small red onion, finely chopped
24 mini slider buns
1 English cucumber, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degree F; line a baking sheet with foil.
  • Halve the squash lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Season the flesh generously with salt and brush with 1/4 cup of the barbecue sauce. Arrange flesh-side down on the prepared baking sheet and roast until tender and the squash strands are easily separated with a fork, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Let cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together the maple syrup, tomato paste, 2/3 cup of the vinegar, remaining 1/2 cup barbecue sauce, a pinch of salt and 1 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until thickened, 15 to 20 minutes. Keep warm.
  • Mix together the mayonnaise, cabbage, onion and remaining 2 tablespoons vinegar in a medium bowl. Season with salt.
  • Use a fork to separate the squash strands (keep them in the skins). Divide 1 1/4 cups of the sauce between the 2 halves and mix until the squash strands are coated. Season with salt.
  • Slice the buns open about three-quarters of the way. Divide the cucumber slices among the buns. Fill each with a generous amount of the squash and top with some slaw. Serve with extra sauce on the side.

1 1/2 tablespoons paprika
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 1/2 tablespoons chili powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon salt
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
3 pounds bone-in chicken thighs
1/2 cup barbeque sauce

BBQ (BARBECUE) CHICKEN SLIDERS



BBQ (Barbecue) Chicken Sliders image

I came up with this recipe while thinking of ways to use some leftover rotisserie chicken. We loved these!

Provided by Ginny Sue

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 20m

Yield 12 sliders, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 cups cooked chicken, shredded (I used rotisserie chicken)
1 cup barbecue sauce
1 tablespoon honey
1 (12 ounce) package king's hawaiian rolls (12 count)
12 slices dill pickles

Steps:

  • Shred chicken finely, and combine with barbecue sauce and honey in a microwave-safe bowl.
  • Cover and heat in microwave for about 4 minutes or until hot, stopping to stir after about 2 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat oven per package directions for rolls.
  • Slice rolls horizontally into 2 large pieces with a large serrated bread knife. (Do not separate into individual rolls.).
  • Replace top of roll and heat in oven per package directions.
  • Remove from oven, remove top of roll and spread hot chicken mixture over bottom roll.
  • Place the pickle slices evenly over the chicken, then replace roll top.
  • Cut carefully into individual rolls, and serve.
  • I find this method easier than trying to fill each roll individually.
  • Makes 12 appetizer servings or 4 main dish servings.

Tips:

  • Choose the right squash: Butternut squash is a popular choice for this recipe, but you can also use acorn squash, kabocha squash, or even zucchini.
  • Roast the squash ahead of time: This will help to bring out its natural sweetness and flavor.
  • Use a flavorful barbecue sauce: The sauce is what really makes these sliders special, so don't skimp on quality.
  • Shred the chicken before cooking: This will help it to cook evenly.
  • Toast the slider buns: This will give them a nice crispy texture.
  • Serve the sliders with your favorite toppings: Some popular options include coleslaw, pickles, and onions.
