Who the heck, thought of making a CARROT, taste just like a HOT DOG? Well after seeing all the hoopla last year I finally tried my hand in making some..... and DANG are they good! You gotta try my new Smoky Vegan Carrot Dogs! They're INSANE!
I seriously had my doubts on these...
I mean really....how in the heck can a CARROT.... of all things... taste like a hot dog?!
But I will admit, they WOULD be convenient, for say, a 4th of July picnic, where there will be people grilling burgers & hotdogs...right?
Now you can fit right in....as long as they taste good that is.
Well make no mistake.... these Smoky Vegan Carrot Dogs DO taste good.
Ridiculously good!
But it's weird.....the whole time my mouth is saying "man, this is one great hotdog"....my EYES are seeing a stupid carrot on a bun. It's just CRAZY..... but it works.
I know I'm a little late to the whole 'carrot dog' party, but I knew this holiday weekend people are going to be asking for them, so I might as well come up with my own recipe.
And what I did was scour the internet, looking at many of the various carrot dog recipes (and there are LOTS), and kind of made a mental list of what seemed to be the key ingredients.....soy sauce, liquid smoke, vinegar, etc. and made up my own recipe using what I thought would taste good, including a few ingredients none of the others had.....
Well all I can say is I am dang impressed. My very first try and both of us were running back for seconds.
It's crazy, it's weird, it's fat-free, and it's VEGAN......
And it's a CARROT.....that happens to taste like a hot dog.
Smoky Vegan Carrot Dogs
Start with about 6 (or more) fairly straight carrots, and cut off the tops. Cut off the bottoms to make them 'bun length'. And by all means, if you have a favorite, healthy, hot dog bun...use it. I used regular, every-day, hot dog buns... because that's all I could find on such short notice (and I got the last package at that!)
Peel your carrots and place them in a pan of water. Bring to a boil and simmer them just until they are fork tender.....about 10-15 minutes. We do NOT want mushy dogs here, just tender enough to push a fork through.
Drain the carrots and rinse really well with cold water (so they'll stop cooking). Drain again and place them in a ziplock freezer bag.
For the marinade, whisk all the marinade ingredients together until well blended and then pour that into the bag with the carrots.
I used soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, veg broth, and liquid smoke - as these seem to be the key ingredients. I also added a teaspoon of minced garlic (fresh, not the powder), a teaspoon of yellow mustard, and a teaspoon of my secret ingredient....pickled jalapeño juice.
All those ingredients are pretty acidic, so to balance that out I wanted to use a little sweetener. I had Maple syrup in my fridge, so that's what I used. You could probably use date syrup too if you choose, or agave - but I can't guarantee the results.
Seal the bag and place it on a plate in your fridge. Let that sit and steep for about 6 hours. Remember to turn the bag over occasionally to keep things mixed up.
UPDATE:
You can speed this whole process along by using your Instant Pot! Simply add your raw carrots and marinade to your Instant Pot and cook on MANUAL for 3 minutes. I did a Quick Release to release the pressure - and then just left my carrots in the pot until I was ready to grill that afternoon.
SUPER easy and saved a LOT of time.
PS. I would still marinate the carrots in the IP after cooking for at least an hour for maximum flavor.
And then to cook your dogs I did what any guy would do on a 4th of July weekend....I fired up my trusty grill.
I know I'll get questions......
Can you bake these? Don't know.
Can you pan fry them? Don't know.
Can you microwave them? Don't know.
I grilled them and they were awesome.
I also basted them occasionally with my remaining marinade to keep them 'juicy'.....because...well..... they're carrots. There's not going to be any fat sizzling down into the flames. I just grilled them long enough to get some blackened char, those lovely grill marks we love so much on several sides.
Like I said, I had my doubts and I'm sure to my neighbors I looked pretty silly.....grown man, beer in hand, grilling......
WTH!? Is he grilling CARROTS?
Yep. Life of a Vegan.
But man........ when you put these babies on a bun, with a little mustard, ketchup, sauerkraut, maybe a little chopped onion....
Oh man Magic happens.
Happy Holidays!
Smoky Vegan Carrot Dogs
Description
Don't you just hate Summer Picnics where everyone is grilling burgers and dogs? Well take these Smoky Vegan Carrot Dogs and join right in!
Ingredients
- 6-8 Carrots (peeled)
Marinade
- ¼ cup Soy Sauce (low sodium)
- ¼ cup Apple Cider Vinegar (Braggs)
- ¼ cup Vegetable Broth (low sodium)
- 2 Tbs Maple Syrup
- 1 Tbs Liquid Smoke
- 1 tsp Yellow Mustard
- 1 tsp Fresh Garlic (minced)
- 1 tsp Pickled Jalapeno Juice
- ½ tsp Onion Powder
Instructions
- Cut and peel carrots to make them "bun length'.
- Boil carrots in water until just fork tender. About 10-15 minutes.
- Drain carrots, rinse with cold water, and drain again. Place carrots in a ziplock freezer bag.
- Whisk all marinade ingredients together and pour into bag with carrots.
- Marinate for 4-6 hrs.
- Grill carrots on an open grill, basting occasionally.
- Grill to heat all the way through and to get some blackened grill marks on each side.
UPDATED INSTANT POT INSTRUCTIONS
- Add cut carrots and marinade to Instant Pot. Attach and seal lid, then cook on MANUAL for 3 minutes. After doing a Quick Release you can then leave the carrots in the pot until you are ready to grill.
- I would marinate the carrots after the pressure has been released for at least 1 hour. If not grilling soon - remove carrots and marinade and transfer to a container you can store in the fridge.
Notes
Garnish with your favorite Hot Dog toppings. Goes great with my Vegan BBQ Beans, Vegan Potato Salad, or Vegan Pasta Salad.
Peggy
I am excited to try this. A cool restaurant near me served their version of a carrot dog and they were delicious. Unfortunately, the restaurant shut down. Is it possible to make the full recipe and freeze half of them after the Instant Pot part but before grilling them?
Cindy
Terrific. I was very happily surprised by how flavorful and authentic this tasted! Wow!!!
Patricia Velez
I tried carrot hot dogs for the first time yesterday 7/3/24 and MAN WERE THEY DELICIOUS!!! I didn't know about marinating them in a bag for a few hours! And they still came out tasty! I can't wait to perfect it for myself!! I haven't tried your recipe yet. Thank you!!
Renée
I’ve been making this recipe for a few years and serving at community events. I absolutely love blowing people’s minds! They go from incredulous to recruiting others to give them a try. 98% success rate and I think the 2% just won’t admit a vegan dog could be delicious.
Lauren
Love love love these carrot dogs. Made them a bunch of times and even used them for pigs in a blanket (I don’t use baby carrots I just cut regular carrots to size) and they turned out amazing. Thank you thank you!
Jen
I use this marinade on tofu and then roast it on a skewer over the campfire, just like you would a hotdog and its such a perfect substitute for a hot dog! Tastes amazing too! I also just cook the tofu in a frying pan when im not having a campfire and eat it as a burger! Fantastic recipe, i use it alot!
Monica
What in the world have I stumbled upon?! These are amazing! I used Braggs Amino Acids and didn’t have any jalapeño juice and they turned out great. After air frying at 400° for 10 mins (flipping half way through to get nice grill marks), I found myself eating almost a whole one after my first so-called “taste” bite 😂.needless to say I’ll be making these weekly! Thanks so much for the recipe 👍🏾
Grant A Allen
I use pickle juice if I don’t have any jalapeño juice handy. But you’re right, barely noticeable.
Simon
Soooooo goood
Sarah
I used baby carrots, but followed the rest of the recipe using the instant pot. Even after the three minutes, the quick release and letting them set for over an hour and then finishing them in the air fryer (until they were browned), they were still crunchy in the center. It's odd since the baby carrots were likely thinner than a full size carrot would be. I wanted to add the note here so no one else reported that issue and they might find this helpful. An extra minute or two (4 or 5 instead of 3) in the pressure cooker might help.
Char
I have tried the baby carrots before, with the same result. It works fine with regular carrots.
Sue Childs
The dogs are the best. Even our non vegan relatives eat one along with their flesh hamburgers. We have them for every BBQ event. I also LOVE your tofu crumbles. I make a batch almost every week.
Rita
I did not grill my carrots, but lightly sauteed them. I also allowed them to marinate overnight. I didn't have Pickled Jalapeno Juice, so I just gave it a sprinkle of Aleppo pepper. Easy and delicious.
carrot dog fanatics
as a split household between meat eaters and animal lovers, this recipe took me and my pals by storm. we came across this in a haze last night and knew we must make it the following day. and that we did. we marinated these carrots for a measly 2.5 HOURS and they still came out more delectable than I could've ever imagined. "i can't believe what i just consumed," says one of the meat eaters. as college students on budget, i am POSITIVE this will become a staple in my home and in my memories. thinking of buying baby carrots to make pigs in a blanket--this recipe cannot and will not be stopped. has anyone tried this? let me know.
Pj
I've seen a number of Vegan Carrot Hot Dogs before but something about this "Smoky Carrot Dogs" recipe caught my attention. I peeled, cut the carrots down into hot dog shape, then put them into Cuisinart Electric Pressure Cooker w/a little water til tender for about 15 minutes (Should've done for 4-6 min.), removed them, put into zip lock bag with the marinade and refrigerated for about 2 hours, then grilled on the cooktop. OMG!! I've been vegan 15+ years and missed hot dogs more than anything else! We toasted the buns, added sauerkraut, pickled onions, mustard & ketchup! Absolutely Deelicious! Smelled and tasted just like I remembered a hot dog should!
Served with baked beans and coleslaw. Chuck Underwood, you are amazing! I can't wait to try more of your recipes!
Tam
Thank you! I was surprised at how tasty these were. I truly was expecting a carrot in a bun taste but it actually worked as a hot dog!
Patty Hughes
Love this recipe can you reuse the marinade?
Sue Childs
I reuse the marinade several times. I love the idea of using baby carrots and making pig in a blanket!
Dx Maxx
My family loves these! We have used your recipe for a few years and they are always requested by my teen grandkids as well as my kids and hubby. Family isn’t vegan but I always incorporate vegan recipes into the menus. Never had a bad review yet! These are our all time favorites!
Jill
I love this recipe. I make it many times a year, especially for camping. Just cook the carrots, add marinade, and toss them in a Ziploc bag into the cooler. Reheat over the fire! Tastes very hot-doggy.
Jennifer Inbody
Wonderful! Even our non-vegan friends and family LOVE them!
Carma
Fantastic! We love these carrot dogs with vegan chili.
Anna
Can we all agree to call these “hot cats”?
Lisa
Or Car dogs
Brittany
Yes!! That’s brilliant. From now on, I’m exclusively calling these hot cats.
Julie
Have to give 5 stars as my hubby didn't know it's vegan but he loved it and asked me to make again! Definitely going to try other recipes of yours. Thank you so much for an 'out of the park' winner!
Ann M
These are truly amazing. Now that grilling season is upon us, has anyone made and frozen these? If so, at what stage did you do so and how did they turn out? Thx!
Lisa
I go to CarrotDog recipe. I have tried a number of these, but by far this is the best. Top with some sauerkraut, mustard and pickles Love them
Lisa
What could you substitute the sugar part with. We are diabetic, so no sugar.
Jordan Brackin
I dont see sugar. Do you mean maple syrup? I'd honestly just leave it out and try it that way.
Mel
There is actually sugar free maple syrup that I’ve found on Amazon. I think the brand was called RXsyrup or something like that it’s in a black bottle and they also make sugar free chocolate syrup and I think they had sugar free caramel sauce too. It is delicious, it took me 2 tries to get used to it not having sugar but it’s spot on flavor wise. There is another sugar free maple syrup brand called Lakanto which I personally don’t like as much. It has a mocha taste to it and I’m not a coffee drinker so I don’t like those type of flavors.
NANCY
Birchbenders Maple syrup. Made with xylitol. Just don't let dogs get to it. Toxic to them.
Donna
These are a big hit in our house. Simple and fun. I air fried them and they were excellent.
Susan Haines
Such a great alternative to store bought! I love Chuck's recipes!!! Brand New Vegan for the win !!!!!
Jillee
I absolutely love these. I make them and grill them in a countertop grill year round.
Sabra
This is my third time making these. This time at the request of my husband who loves them! We live where we have an awesome farmers market so I am able to make these with perfect sized fresh organic carrot. This recipe with those sweet carrots is outstanding! Thank you! On a side note, I left these to marinate over night and they turned out great. Also I did not add the broth or jalepeno juice last time simply because I was out and they still turned out great!
Thanks again Chuck for an awesome recipe!
Richard
Insanely good and very easy. Really bizarre having a carrot instead of a hotdog but really cannot taste the difference. Superb
Diane
Really good! Even the meat eaters ask me to make this all the time!
Melissa
Can you marinade for longer than 6 hours?
Thank you!!!
Chuck Underwood
yes!
Vegans Are Awesome
I just made these the other day, and they were so amazing!! This was my first time making and tasting carrot dogs. I fried it in just a little bit of oil on the stove, coating some of the sides with the marinade as I turned them. I actually prefer these to the store bought vegan hot dogs. I will definitely make these again!! Thank you for sharing such a delicious and healthy recipe! 😀
LaVonne Bunt
How often can the marinade be reused? With condiments of ketchup, mustard, and sauerkraut, these were pretty tasty.
Rebecca
WOW! Would make again. I reduced the vinegar to 2Tbsp after reading some other reviews, that was perfect. Added less liquid smoke - personal preference, and omitted jalapeno juice simply because I didn't have it, but I'm sure that adds great flavor too! I was legit dumbfounded how much this tastes like a hotdog.
GD
Yes unfortunately my family didn't like these because of the overpowering taste of apple cider vinegar..I'll try again and hope they appreciate it after this first try
Christa
These were really good! I took the instant pot option, and decided to add some variety by also making some rutabaga dogs to see how those would turn out. I thought maybe the rutabaga would get too soft, but it cooked out about the same rate as the carrots. They were both delicious, but I think the rutabaga actually came out a better texture to be a fake hot dog. Thanks so much for your recipe!!!
Barb
It had to happen! Just saw an ad for carrot dogs. Chorizo or sweet Italian flavor. Boathouse Farms. I’ll have to check on the price. I’m sure it is high.
VeggieTater
Love these! I recently I had some very irregular, misshapen carrots that wouldn't make make bun worthy dogs... but remembered how I used to make a quickie meal for a bunch of hungry kids.... hot dog "coins" and baked beans. I chopped the carrots into "coins" instead, cooked them briefly in the marinade, then let them soak in it for a while. Later I just heated up the beans, drained the carrots, added them in and mixed it all up. Pretty darn convincing!
Dorie
Yes, the longer you marinade, the better. Replaces the carrot taste with hot dog flavor.
Wilma
I have wanted to try these for a couple of years..
Oh my goodness- heavenly - I even eat them for breakfast while I watch Blue Jays in 30
I followed your recipe exactly and LOVE my HOT DOG condiments of red onion and sauerkraut and mustard.
I used my Wee George Foreman grill - as my hubby hates anything healthy ,- I have stopped trying and guess what - leading by example and looking good eating PLANTS is his curiosity
Amanda
First attempt at carrot dogs and I was very impressed! I used the Instant Pot method and they turned out great. Grilled them up and topped with some leftover veggie chili. Will make again!
Hanni
I've made these several times and they turn out great every time. Even when I accidentally cook them too long on the grill they're great because they're covered in condiments anyway! I'm not vegetarian but have made them when having vegetarian friends over, and everyone loves them. My tip is to just use premade BBQ sauce like sweet baby ray's instead of making our own. It's easier and I think gives a flavor that packs more of a punch. I also grill the carrots for quite long (20 min) which ensures any carroty flavor becomes more of a sweet roasted flavor.
Sassysyl
I recently found you on YouTube and love your channel. I made these today and roasted them in my air fryer basted once and turned over and continued to roast . They turned out great. So close to the real thing. I will definitely enjoy these during our summer bbq’s. I wish I could find a healthy hot dog bun but figure since I am eating a carrot, I can eat two of these on hot dog buns yummy.
Thomas Kevin Blanc
I'm going to try this marinade with tempeh. Just because I have some to use up.
SGagne
I had looked at this recipe last summer but I was skeptical,how could a carrot taste like a hotdog? We just had an extra warm couple days and decided to give it a try. And wow! These are great. After reading some of the reviews, I used 3 Tbsp of vinegar and let them marinate nearly 3 days (was't my intention, but how it worked out). Otherwise I followed the recipe exactly as written. Looking forward to tossing these on the grill all summer!
P. Showalter
I was so skeptical of this recipe. I don't actually like hotdogs. I also don't tend to like vegan meat clones. I made this basically on the faith that everything I've made from here has been great & that the Krocks in the Kitchen recommended it. Even with that I was skeptical and my wife was even more skeptical.
I made them today basically as an experiment. I did the IP version and I only let them marinade an hour.
This recipe is nothing short of witchcraft. They not only taste like hotdogs, they taste like incredibly good hotdogs! I sincerely feel it makes the best tasting hotdog I've ever had. Not the best tasting vegan hotdog, the best hotdog! On taste alone, I prefer this to any animal based hot dog I've ever had.
Lay
Enjoyed this recipe I threw mine in the air fryer and turned them half way through. It’s too cold up north to be grilling rn lol came out great made chili to go on top too
Jonathan Rys
Some of he carrots I used were a little too big(~3" wide) so they didn't cook all the way through but they were still pretty good. The thinner carrots were better though. I saw another recipe say to whittle them down to the right size and round the ends for a more realistic dog, but I think I can find carrots that don't require much processing or waste. On the point of waste, I found the extra marinade works really well for hydrating TVP for sloppy Joes.
mary singleton
I knew this was going to be a tough sell to my fussy kids and husband. Along with packaged sauerkraut, I prepared and served a NY hot dog cart onion sauce recipe. With these condiments, the carrot hot dogs were delicious. In my honest opinion, the carrot hot dogs really needed the onions and sauerkraut. Thanks for sharing this recipe.
Kat
These are amazing! I think the ingredients for the marinade are balanced perfectly. I was honestly shocked when I tasted the marinade and it tasted like hot dogs! (In a good way!) I had skinny carrots and marinated for an hour and it worked great. I topped it with homemade pickle diced, diced fresh onion and red pepper, vegan mayo, grey poupon, and ketchup. It. Blew. My socks. Off!!! I wish I could post a picture of my husband's face after his first bite!
Beth
We made these today and they were great! It rained, so we broiled them to get a little color. Everyone loved them. They really do have the taste of hot dogs! I will add these to the rotation!
A. Bull
Made vegan carrot dogs tonight. They were great. Marinated them for an afternoon but yes I can see how marinating longer could be ok too. Next time I will make carrots same size circumference wise. As far as condiments, we’ll that is personal preference. Highly recommend.
Becky Banta
Holy cow!! I’ve tried many different recipes for carrot dogs, and as much as I liked all of them, my family didn’t. But these ones taste JUST LIKE HOT DOGS!! My family even liked them, which is saying a lot. I made them and took them camping. I roasted mine over an open campfire and it was so good!! I still have a few that’s been marinading for a good 5 days and had one for lunch. The flavor wasn’t too strong, it was PERFECT!! Thank you so much for this yummy recipe!! ❤️
Donna Reeves
I asked my friend when she wanted to come over for a meal. She said, "When are you making carrot dogs again?"
We love them.
Donna
StaceyN
I made this today since I had a bunch of carrots that needed to be used and have been wanting to try carrot dogs for a while. I left out the jalapeno juice since I don't have that and I halved the vinegar. I put it in my instant pot with the marinade for 3 minutes though I think maybe a little longer may have worked better since parts were still a bit hard but not too bad. I wish my instant pot could do 3 1/2 minutes. haha I put it in a hot dog bun with a sauce mix I like and tried it. I thought it was really good! Definitely not the same texture as a hotdog but I liked it! I then let my kids try it and asked them what they thought it was and they said a hot dog and they all liked it as well. I told them it was actually carrots and they all wanted it for lunch. My 8 year old complained that I didn't make more and wanted to have it for dinner but I ran out of hot dog buns. All five I made were eaten and I'll definitely make it again. 😀
Jennifer Purdy
Oh, thank you so much! I have tried veggie hotdogs before and they were okay but heavily processed and didn’t taste great. And I’ve missed hotdogs. I’ve eaten more hotdogs now in the last 2 weeks than in the last 8 years or so. These are great with my usual ketchup and mustard on them. Thank you!!! And they’re so easy.
Christina
These are going to change my life. I haven’t had a real hot dog in over 15 years. I made these lastnight and became Immediately obsessed! They are so good!! I will now have something to eat at barbecues because I’ve never been a fan of veggie burgers. Thanks for this recipe!
Stacey Oldt
I felt like I was cheating on my diet! Totally tasted like a hot dog with the ketchup and mustard. I used an Ezekiel tortilla instead of a bun. I did the instant pot version followed by George Foreman grill; Made enough for leftovers
Ellie L.
Okay, I just ate mine today, and they were fantastic! I slightly undercooked them, so there was a bit more bite than perhaps was intended, but the flavor was awesome! I only used maybe slightly more than half a tablespoon of vinegar instead of a quarter cup, and that was perfect for me, so I would use the vinegar very sparingly. I marinaded mine for three days in the fridge and grilled them today for Memorial Day! My Mom and I loved them, everyone else was too timid to try them.
Ellie L
I am marinating mine now, and the marinade tastes great! I don’t like a lot of vinegar, so I only added a scant tablespoon, and it was great! I also only added a scant tablespoon of maple syrup. I very lightly salted my water used for boiling the carrots.
Sakala
I made these a few weeks ago and they were absolutely delicious! I am actually making another batch right now with some carrots I got at the farmer's market. When I used to eat meat, I loved a good burnt hot dog. I find that this is really the key with these as well. I tend to like them better the day after I make them, and I warm them up in the air fryer. They're deliciou!
Jill
My 11 year old daughter who always eats her hot dogs with no toppings or a bun likes them. I cooked her a hot dog and a carrot dog and put them both on her plate. She ate her carrot dog and asked for another before she touched her hot dog. You should know that she is that alerts me that we are low on prosciutto.
Also I've made cooked them over a fire and pan fried. Great both ways. My only criticism is that they are a little better when par-boiled in stock or seasoned water.
Robin Plett
This was my very first BrandnewVegan recipe and they are the bomb! Like another reviewer, I couldn't get anyone else to eat them, so I froze them. No problems, just as good after freezing.
Lisa
Tried your recipe today and it is ridiculously good! Make them in an instant pot and they were fantastic.
Heather
We made Chicago dogs out of these and I could not be more impressed or satisfied! It’s ridiculous how delicious and O.G. hotdog-like they turned out. We used the Instant Pot method, I’m seriously saving the marinade to use for something else. Thank you!!
Nikki Z
OMG these were absolutely awesome. made them for Superbowl last night! in my instapot. followed directions, cooked 3 minutes, followed by quick release, let them sit 1.5 hours and then put them on the BBQ., Will definitely make these again..
Sita
I love your recipes Chuck. Haven’t tried these yet but wonder if they can be made without an IP?? Thanks!
Chuck Underwood
I have stovetop instructions in the recipe.
Hayley
this was my first attempt at carrot dog. Can’t believe the naysayers! I did the Instapot method and then let them sit in the pot in the marinade for an hour. Then tossed a little Earth Balance butter in a skillet and cooled them up. My 2 tweaks were using a no-beef boullion cube dissolved in boiling water instead of veggie broth, and I added 1 tsp vegan Worcester sauce. They were so dang good, I ate one and hubby ate 3! Thank you for a great recipe!
Amelia
I rarely leave reviews, but I was so impressed with this recipe! I'm not vegan, but moving toward a whole foods/plant based diet slowly but surely. My husband wanted to have hot dogs for Labor Day, so decided to try this out. He had regular hot dogs, and I found my carrot dogs satisfying enough to not even have a bite of his! I made them in the instant pot, marinated for 45 mins, and broiled them in the oven. We also toasted the buns, and garnished with onions and mustard. I think without the toasted bun and garnishes, they might not have been as satisfying a substitute. Will definitely make again!
Nina
Made this yesterday and hubby ate three. Loved them. May try with less maple syrup as he is diabetic. Marinate in refrigerator and leave leftovers in to be ready at moment. Which could share pic. I did share on FB.
Merrymepenelope
Wow! I didn't have pickled jalapenos so I subbed a little A-1 sauce which was just fine. We threw everything into the InstantPot and cooked for 3 minutes, released pressure and allowed to continue marinating for 90 minutes. Because we don't have a grill, the next best thing was a cast iron pan. They are marvelous!!! We served these little carrot dogs on toasted buns with fresh onion and condiments. A winner! Thanks!
Shari T
These are a keeper! I tried another recipe in the past, but they were more like 'carrots with a hint of hot dog' These smelled great while cooking [I just put them in a saucepan] and the flavor is wonderful. Thanks for sharing!
Freya
I haven't made them from this recipe yet, but it sounds great and I plan to use this recipe next time.
I had carrot dogs for the first time today after I found them in a supermarket. I had been wanting to try them for years. The store bought ones just needed to be baked in a pannon th stove for 3 to 5 minutes so that was really easy (there were also instructions for using an oven on the package).
We ate these on a tomato-onion burger bun, with saurkraut, sugar free ketchup and mustard. It was our first time eating carrot dogs and also my first time eating a dog with saurkraut. We loved it ?❤️! We loved both the carrot dogs and the addition of sour kraut. The taste and texture of the carrot dogs aren't exactly the same as regular hot dogs, but they ARE similar and have the right feel! Neither my boyfriend or I are vegans but we do eat a lot of vegan food. My boyfriend is a big fan of meat and even he lovef these carrot dogs. We were both amazed at how close these are to real hot dogs. Personally, I like these better than real hot dogs. Real hot dogs are tasty but to me also have something yucky in their taste (because of the meat that is used) and they tend to have yucky bits in them like pieces of cartilage.
These carrot dogs are really tasty and healthy and easy to make since they can be made in a lot of different ways and if you make them yourself they are also really cheap.
You can
