These sliders are the perfect veggie burger for those with gluten allergies as they use millet instead of flour and bread crumbs. I really like millet as it’s an ancient grain and most people find it very easily digestible. These sliders can be served on buns, overs salads, in lettuce wraps or my favorite just as they are. Topped with some sprouts and avocado!
