Hawaiian Sliders with Mushrooms and Lentils

We've changed things up a bit for these saucy sandwiches that have a tropical twist. These sliders were last featured in 2018, but this time we're serving chili garlic Brussels sprouts on the side for a more seasonal vegetable and making the slaw extra fast with a store-bought coleslaw mix.

Make

Heat oven to 425F / 218C degrees.
Toss Brussels sprouts with cooking oil (portion for Brussels sprouts), chili garlic sauce (portion for Brussels sprouts), and sesame seeds. Season with some salt. Spread out on a sheet pan. Transfer to oven and roast, shaking the pan halfway through cooking, until tender and golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.
While Brussels sprouts are roasting, heat a wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add cooking oil (portion for sliders) and then mushrooms. Saute until mushrooms are golden and tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
To mushrooms, add lentils and portion of Hawaiian BBQ Sauce for sliders (reserve the remaining sauce for Thursday). Cook, stirring frequently, until sauce has reduced slightly and coated ingredients, ~5 minutes more.
Give slaw a stir and season with some salt.
Toast slider buns.
Fill slider buns with mushrooms / lentils and slaw. Enjoy sliders with Brussels sprouts on the side.
