Equipment
- Grill
Ingredients
- 18 Carrots
- 3/4 cup Tamari sauce (low sodium)
- 3/4 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
- 3/4 cup Vegetable broth - low sodium
- 3 TBSP Liquid smoke
- 3 tsp yellow mustard
- 3 tsp Pickled jalapeño juice
- 1-1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1-1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 18 hot dog buns, preferably wheat
- chopped onion, relish, mustard and all the trimmings for the carrot dogs
Instructions
- Peel the carrots and cut into bun length. Round off the ends if desired to make them look more "dog" like.
- Boil carrots in water until they are fork tender. Approximately 10-15 minutes. Keep a close eye so you do not overcook.
- Drain the carrots, and rinse immediately under cold water to stop the cooking. Drain well and place in a large Ziplock bag.
- Mix all the marinade ingredients together and pour into the bag of carrots.
- Marinate for 4-6 hours or overnight.
- Grill the carrots on an open grill, basting occasionally.
- Turn occasionally to create blackened grill marks on each side of the carrots. Remove when heated through.
- Place each carrot in a bun and add the desired toppings. Enjoy!
