Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized Carrot
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Liquid smoke
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 4 Hotdog buns
Instructions
Begin by peeling the carrots and trimming them to approximately the length of your hotdog buns.
In a pot, add the soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, liquid smoke, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Stir to combine the marinade.
Place the carrots in the pot and add enough water to cover them completely.
Bring the pot to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer the carrots for about 12-15 minutes, or until they are just fork-tender.
Remove the pot from heat and let the carrots cool in the marinade for at least 30 minutes. For best results, let them marinate for several hours or overnight in the refrigerator.
When ready to serve, preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Remove the carrots from the marinade and place them on the preheated grill. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until they have grill marks and are heated through.
Place the grilled carrots in hotdog buns and add your favorite toppings such as mustard, ketchup, relish, or vegan sauerkraut.
Serve immediately and enjoy your vegan hotdogs!
