Carrot Hot Dog
This carrot hot dog is a superlative homemade vegan hot dog made with carrots marinated in vinegar and spices. Close your eyes and you may tell a slight difference between this and the real deal. But barely. The best vegan hot dog we've ever had.
Ingredients
- 1 cup store-bought vegetable broth or homemade vegetable broth
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce, tamari, or Bragg’s
- 1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 2 teaspoons mustard powder or ground mustard seed
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/4 teaspoon finely ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 8 medium carrots, peeled, skinny ends trimmed, carrots cut the length of the buns
- 8 hot dog buns, (whatever kind you like)
- onions, relish, mustard, ketchup, or whatever you wish for dressing your dog
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, mix together the broth, vinegars, soy sauce, liquid smoke, and spices. Bring to a simmer and continue to cook for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, toss the oil and carrots together in a small roasting pan.
- Pour the hot marinade over the carrots. Cover the pan with aluminum foil and let it sit for at least 30 minutes and, preferably, up to 1 1/2 hours to let the flavors infuse the carrots.
- Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C).
- Slide the covered pan in the oven and roast for 20 minutes. Take off the foil, stir the carrots and flip them over to coat them in the marinade again, and roast until tender on the outside with a little bit of resistance in the center when you stab them with a fork, 20 to 25 minutes more, depending on the size of the carrots.
- Slip each carrot hot dog in a bun and add your choice of toppings.
