INSTRUCTIONS
1. Prepare the Shredz
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Thaw the BeanStalk Brands Shredz overnight in the refrigerator. Place the thawed Shredz in a bowl and toss with enough BBQ sauce to evenly coat without making the mixture overly saucy.
2. Assemble the Sliders
Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally and place the bottom half in a parchment-lined baking dish. Evenly spread the BBQ Shredz over the rolls. Top with the pineapple chunks and vegan cheese, if using, then place the top half of the rolls over the filling.
3. Add the Topping
In a small bowl, combine the melted vegan butter or oil, brown sugar, garlic powder, and ground ginger. Brush the mixture generously over the tops of the rolls, then sprinkle with sesame seeds.
4. Bake
Bake at 375°F (190°C) until the sliders are heated through, the cheese has melted if using, and the tops are golden brown, about 15–20 minutes.
5. Serve
Serve warm with extra BBQ sauce and a side of coleslaw. Customize with chopped onions, jalapeños, pickled onions, or sliced bell peppers for even more flavor and texture.
