Vegan Carrot Hot Dogs

Step 1

Pour all ingredients into a bowl and whisk to combine.

Step 2

Preheat grill.

Step 3

Place carrots in your Instant Pot, pour the marinade over the carrots and cook for 2 minutes.

Step 4

Once the carrot dogs have finished cooking in the Instant Pot, use the quick release, remove them from the Instant Pot and throw them onto the grill. Cook the carrot dogs for 2-3 minutes per side or until you get those really cool grill marks. Use leftover marinade to baste carrot dogs as they cook.

Step 5

Remove your dogs and serve on your favorite hot dog bun or roll fixed any way you like.

Step 6

If you don’t plan on eating your carrot dogs right away remove them from the Instant Pot and store in the fridge with the marinade until you are ready.

Step 7

Boil carrots for 8-10 minutes or until just tender enough to pierce with a fork. YOU DON’T WANT THEM MUSHY! Then, drain and rinse them under cold water to stop them from cooking.

Step 8

Put the carrots in a gallon Ziploc bag or airtight container and pour the marinade over the carrots. Be sure they all get covered. Let them marinate in the fridge for at least 2-3 hours, but overnight is best.

Step 9

Remove and follow grill procedure mentioned above.

Step 10

Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat.

Step 11

Add carrots dogs and 1/2 cup of marinade to skillet. Cook for 6-8 minutes or until most, if not all, of the marinade has evaporated.

Step 12

Serve immediately.
