Split buns and place cut side up on a baking sheet and toast in oven unttil lightly browned, about 8 to 10 minutes,
In a skillet over medium heat, heat oil until shimmering. Add meatless meatballs and cook until browned on all sides, about 6 to 8 minutes. Add pasta sauce and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until meatballs are cooked through, about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a saucepan over medium-high heat, melt Earth Balance. Add flour and mix thoroughly. Slowly add milk, whisking until incorporated. Bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer until thickened, stirring constantly, about 3 minutes. Add vegan cheese shreds, garlic powder, salt and pepper and whisk until cheese has melted.
Place one vegan meatball with about 1 tablespoon pasta sauce on each slider bun bottom. Top each with 1 to 2 tablespoons cheese sauce and top slider buns.
Garnish sliders with chopped parsley and serve with remaining sauces on side. Enjoy!
