Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Carrot (medium, peeled and ends trimmed)
- 3 tablespoons Coconut Aminos
- 1 tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground Cumin
- 1 tablespoon Avocado Oil
- 1 cup Filtered Water
- 4 pieces Paleo-Friendly Vegan Hotdog Buns (grain-free, store-bought or homemade)
- 1 as desired Toppings (e.g., sauerkraut, diced onions, mustard, sliced avocados)
Instructions
Peel and trim the ends of 4 medium carrots, ensuring they are roughly the same size and shape for even cooking.
In a large pot, add 1 cup of filtered water, 3 tablespoons of coconut aminos, 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, 0.5 teaspoon of ground cumin, and 1 tablespoon of avocado oil. Stir well to combine.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer.
Add the carrots to the pot, ensuring they are fully submerged in the marinade. Cover with a lid and simmer for 15 minutes or until the carrots are tender but not mushy. Turn them occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Once cooked, remove the carrots from the pot and let them cool slightly. If desired, you can lightly grill them for 2-3 minutes for a charred flavor profile.
While the carrots cool, warm or toast your paleo-friendly vegan hotdog buns.
Place each cooked carrot into a bun and top with your favorite paleo-approved toppings such as sauerkraut, diced onions, mustard, or sliced avocados.
Serve hot and enjoy your healthy, paleo-vegan hotdog!
