Directions

  1. Make Pickled Slaw: Combine shredded carrots, shredded red cabbage, apple cider vinegar, parsley, yellow bell pepper, sugar, and salt in a medium bowl. Let stand 10 minutes; drain, and set aside. 

  2. Make Beet and Carrot Sausages: Combine beets, onion, and carrots in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave, uncovered, on HIGH for 6 to 8 minutes or until tender; cool and drain. Combine beet mixture, oats, pecans, Italian parsley, egg, garlic, nutritional yeast, soy sauce, cumin, and salt in a food processor. Cover and process until smooth. Refrigerate for 20 minutes. Divide mixture into 8 (2-oz.) portions; roll each into a 4-inch log.

  3. Dip spring roll wrapper halves, one at a time, in water for 5 minutes. Place one sausage log on cut edge of wrapper; fold in sides and roll. 

  4. Preheat a charcoal or gas grill with greased grill rack for direct cooking over medium-high heat (375 degrees). Grill sausages 4 to 6 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees. 

  5. To serve, place a sausage in each bun. Drizzle with Dijon mustard and top with Pickled Slaw.
