Plant Chicken Parm Sliders

Step 1

• Air Fry (recommended for extra crispiness): Preheat air fryer to 400°F. Place the frozen Breaded Wings in a single layer (avoid overlapping; cook in batches if needed). Air fry for 11-13 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.

OR

• Oven Bake: Preheat oven to 450°F (or 400-425°F depending on your oven for even cooking). Place frozen Breaded Wings on a parchment-lined or lightly sprayed baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and golden brown. (For slightly lower temp like 400°F, extend to 12-15 minutes if needed.)

Step 2

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 12×8 inch baking dish with cooking spray (or use a parchment-lined sheet pan for easier cleanup).
• Slice the slider rolls in half horizontally. Place the bottom halves in the prepared dish.
• In a small bowl, mix the melted vegan butter, minced garlic (or granulated), onion powder, Italian seasoning, and crushed red pepper flakes.
• Brush the bottom rolls generously with the garlic butter mixture.
• Now layer slices of vegan mozzarella cheese.
• Spread ½ cup of the marinara sauce evenly over the cheese.
• Arrange the cooked Breaded Wings on top.
• Drizzle with the remaining ½ cup marinara sauce.
• Sprinkle with 1 Tbsp of the grated vegan Parmesan.
• Top with the remaining 6 slices of vegan mozzarella cheese.
• Place the bun tops on top.
• Brush the tops of the rolls with the remaining garlic butter mixture.
• Sprinkle with the reserved 1 Tbsp vegan Parmesan.
• Cover loosely with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
• Remove the foil and bake another 3-5 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden, the cheese is fully melted and gooey, and everything is heated through.
• Use a sharp knife to separate the sliders along the perforations.
• Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
• Serve warm with extra warmed marinara sauce on the side for dipping.

And enjoy!
