Ingredients
Scale
- Baked Mushrooms and Pineapple
- 16 ounces white button mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cups pineapple, cored and cut into 1/2 inch triangles
- 2 tbs olive oil
- 1 tbs chili powder
- 1 tsp cayenne pepper
- 2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp each salt and pepper
- 8–10 Slider Buns
- Jackie’s BBQ Sauce
- 1 cup ketchup
- 1/2 cup tomato paste
- 1/2 cup water (more to thin if necessary)
- 3 tbs apple cider vinegar
- 2 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 tbs Sriracha
- 2 tbs Dijon mustard
- 3 tbs brown sugar
- 1 tbs maple syrup
- 2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tbs garlic powder
- 1 tbs onion powder
- 2 tbs Worchestershire sauce
- 1 tsp each salt and pepper
- Creamy Coleslaw
- 1 bag coleslaw mix
- 1/2 cup vegan mayo
- juice of 1 lemon
- 1 tbs Dijon mustard
- 2 tbs apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbs Old Bay seasoning
- 1 tsp each salt and pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Take two large baking sheets and spread the pineapple out on one and the sliced mushrooms on the other. Take the olive oil and spices and sprinkle it over the mushrooms and pineapple and toss until fully coated. Bake for 15 minutes at 350.
- Next, make your BBQ sauce. In a large bowl combine the ketchup, tomato paste and water and whisk together until it becomes smooth. Then add in the remaining BBQ sauce ingredients and whisk until fully incorporated. Pour the sauce into a pan and cook on low heat stirring occasionally for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes taste the sauce and adjust accordingly. For spice add more cayenne pepper or Sriacha, for tang add more vinegar and for sweetness add more sugar or syrup.
- While the sauce and the mushrooms are cooking, throw together the coleslaw. In a large bowl, place the slaw mix, mayo, vinegar, lemon juice, Dijon, Old Bay and salt and pepper and toss vigorously until the coleslaw is fully coated. It may be easier to whisk the mayo, vinegar, lemon juice and Dijon together in a small bowl and pour it over the coleslaw then add the seasoning.
- When the mushrooms and pineapple have cooked for 15 minutes, remove the pineapple from the oven. Take about 1/4 cup of the BBQ sauce, pour it on the mushrooms and toss them in the sauce. Bake the mushrooms for 5 more minutes then remove them.
- Assemble the sliders by placing BBQ sauce on both buns. Put the sliced pineapple on the bottom bun and top with the mushrooms and then the coleslaw. Be sure to have a napkin on hand because these are sloppy! Enjoy!
