Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cooked lentils
- 0.5 cup Rolled oats
- 1 medium, grated Carrot
- 1 tablespoon Nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon Low-sodium soy sauce or tamari (for gluten-free)
- 1 tablespoon Tomato paste

- 2 tablespoons Water
- 4 pieces Whole wheat or gluten-free hotdog buns

Instructions
In a small bowl, mix the ground flaxseed and water to create a flax egg. Let it sit for 5 minutes until it thickens.
In a food processor, combine the cooked lentils, rolled oats, grated carrot, nutritional yeast, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, soy sauce or tamari, tomato paste, and the prepared flax egg. Blend until the mixture comes together and is mostly smooth, with some texture remaining.
Transfer the mixture to a clean surface and divide it into 4 equal portions. Form each portion into a hotdog shape using your hands.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Spray lightly with cooking spray if needed.
Cook the vegan hotdogs for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned and heated through evenly.
Toast the whole wheat or gluten-free buns lightly, if desired.
Place each cooked vegan hotdog in a bun and garnish with your favorite toppings such as mustard, ketchup, diced onions, sauerkraut, or relish.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Low Fat Vegan Hotdog!
