You can make sliders out of cauliflower?

Why yes. Yes, you can.

Even if you’re not vegetarian, you’ll probably love these.

No, really. Serve these at a party and watch your guests’ reactions.

These little sandwiches are bursting with flavor because of:

The cauliflower-based sliders, which are brushed with spicy honey

The pickled red onions

The tangy-creamy cilantro-lime mayonnaise

The sweet-buttery toasted brioche bun

Recipe Tips: Cauliflower Sliders

To ensure that the sliders don’t fall apart while frying, it’s important to ensure that they’re sticky enough.

Because heads of cauliflower vary in size, the amount of cauliflower you’ll end up with will also vary.

The fix? The touch test.

The cauliflower slider “dough” should hold together and not fall apart. It should be roughly the consistency of play dough.

Time-Saving Tips

Full disclosure: These are a bit time-consuming to make. To save time, you can do the following ahead of time:

Rice the cauliflower

Use frozen riced cauliflower instead of fresh

Make spicy honey sauce

Make cilantro-lime mayonnaise

Make pickled red onions
