Carrot Hot Dogs – Vegan

Directions

1. 1
   Boil the carrots for about 10 min to soften them until they are just fork tender. You don't want to fully cook the carrots, but they shouldn't be hard either. Think hot dog tender. I test the carrots by poking one with a fork. If the fork pierces the center of the carrot without too much force theyre done.While the carrots boil, prep the marinade.
2. 2
   Mix all the ingredients in a shallow glass dish.
3. 3
   Remove the carrots from the hot water and poke them a few times with a fork. This will allow them to absorb more marinade. Now add the carrots to the marinade.Marinate them in the fridge for at least 2 hours or overnight for more flavor. Rotate the carrots a few times for an even coating.Grill the carrots on a gas or charcoal grill until heated throughout and grill marks have formed. (about 5-8 minutes)Flip and heat for another 2-3 minutes to add grill marks to the other side.Preheat oven to 415F.
4. 4
   Place carrot dogs on a cast iron grill or parchment lined baking sheet.
5. 5
   Bake for 15 min, then flip each carrot dog and bake for another 10 minutes.
6. 6
   Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium heat.Carefully place the carrots in your skillet.
7. 7
   Heat on each side for about 5 minutes or until heated throughout.
