Carrot Dogs
These carrot dogs are amazing!! The marinade flavor is so delicious and satisfying, and the texture is perfectly soft, yet firm (like a real hot dog)!
Ingredients
- 6 carrots
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tbsp pure maple syrup
- 1 tbsp liquid smoke
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp mustard powder
- 6 hot dog buns vegan
Instructions
- Wash and peel the carrots, then cut them to fit in a hot dog bun (or as long as you want).
- Boil the carrots for 10-12 minutes uncovered. To test if they're done, poke them with a fork. They should be soft enough to pierce to the center, but still firm, like a hot dog.
- Mix all of the remaining ingredients in a bowl, then transfer to a shallow dish that will fit all of the carrots in a single row.
- Drain the carrots and lay them in the shallow dish. Gently poke each of them 5-10 times with a fork, then flip and do the same. This will help them soak up the marinade.
- I always let the carrots marinate in the fridge overnight, rotating them a few times that night and then again the next day, so they soak up as much flavor as evenly as possible.
- When they're ready to cook, heat 2 tbsp of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Carefully add the carrots and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until heated through and done to your liking.
- Serve with your favorite toppings along with some potato chips and vegan french onion dip. Enjoy & share!
