Carrot Dogs

Method

Cut the carrots at both ends to make them “hot-dog” length. If you wish, you can use a peeler to shape the carrots into more of a hot dog look.

Steam the carrots 15-20 minutes until tender, but not too done. Submerge in an ice bath to cool.

Put the veggie broth, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, mustard, spices, and liquid smoke into a gallon-size ziploc bag and mix by smushing the bag a few times until all ingredients are incorporated.

Put steamed carrots in the bag and remove air from the bag as best you can. Allow to marinate in the fridge for at least 12 hours or overnight.

To cook, put the marinated carrots in the pan with a bit of the marinade. Really brown them up, adding more marinade as needed.

Serve these carrot dogs on a whole wheat bun with ketchup, mustard, diced onions, or your favorite toppings.
