A delicious and healthy alternative to traditional hot dogs, made with tender marinated carrots.
Ingredients
- 4 carrots peeled and trimmed, large
- 1/4 cup soy sauce low sodium
- 1/4 cup vegetable broth
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1/2 tsp liquid smoke
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 4 hot dog buns to serve
- additional toppings such as mustard, ketchup, relish, etc.
Instructions
- Bring a pot of water to boil and cook the carrots for about 6-8 minutes until they are fork-tender but not too soft.
- While carrots are cooking, mix soy sauce, vegetable broth, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, liquid smoke, garlic powder, and onion powder in a shallow dish.
- After draining the carrots, add them to the marinade. Let them marinate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for the best flavor.
- Preheat a grill or skillet over medium heat. Cook the marinated carrots, turning occasionally, until they are slightly charred and heated through, about 8-10 minutes.
- Serve each carrot in a hot dog bun with your choice of toppings.

These carrot hot dogs are surprisingly delish! I was really skeptical at first, but boy, they turned out great with some mustard. 5 stars!
I’m not sure if carrots can taste like hot dogs. Sounds weird to me, but glad it worked for you! Maybe I’ll try it if I find some good toppings.
Just tried this recipe, and it was a total flop for me. The carrots were too soft and didn’t taste right. 2/5
I’m sorry to hear that! Maybe they were overcooked? I like mine a bit crunchy. Give it another try! 😊
Tried making these for a veggie cookout and everyone went crazy over them! I didn’t tell them they were carrots at first. Ha! 5 stars!
That sounds delicious! I can’t believe they’re made from carrots. I’m definitely trying this at my next barbecue! 😋
Carrot hot dogs? Sounds weird but I gave it a shot. They’re actually pretty good! Didn’t expect to like them that much. 4 stars!
Y’all are playing! Carrots as hot dogs? Who thought of this?! Not gonna lie, I’m not into it. Just stick with the real thing. 1 star.
